MG TD TF 1500 - Diff Cage and Gears Needed

After buying my axles, a customer in the UK has asked me to locate a TD cage and spider gears. They never go bad so I don't have one! All help appreciated.

Tom. Unfortunately they do go bad when the wrong oils are used and the trust washers disintegrate. I have a cage and spiders but the washers are BO. If that helps.

Tom,

I don't have this part, but know of one for sale.
Can you get your contact to email me, I will then forward him the information.

Hi Tom,
I have a TF diff cage with spider gears and the 4.875 ratio crown-wheel and pinion included. I haven't looked at it for many years but from memory it is in perfect condition. It has all the bearings etc with it.
It might be more than your customer wants although would be good if he wishes to change the ratio slightly from TD to TF specs. (5.125 to 4.875)
I know I am a long way from you, but Australia post is not bad.
Cheers from South Australia,

Sorry,
That 4.875 diff is now sold.
