MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Searching for a diff in Holland

Hi all you dutch spridget pilots,

Does anyone by chance happen to have a 3.5 or 3.7 diff laying around doing nothing? (And is willing to sperate with it)
I'm desperately in need of one, 'cause when my engine is ready I don't want to be listening to that circular saw behind me bum again.

Nope but here they are rare as hens teeth and Muchos dineros and at the other side of the pond they are much more common.

BTW Do you have family living in Veendam?
Bas Timmermans

Alex I have a 3.7 in excelent condition(and a couple 3.9s) but im sorry to say but im not willing to part from it.
In the 15 years i owned my midget i found out the hard way that as soon as i sell something i come to need it my self within a short period after selling.
I then ended up paying more fore it then i got for selling it... :(


If Thijs cant help you with it at the moment then try Coen at Classic Car Clinic Nijmegen or the guys at the www.spridgetcompany.nl

Bas, I'm not aware of any family in Veendam, but you never know.

Arie why rub it in you you you ...........
But I know what you mean, I'll keep searching.

Alex,

I'm flying to Germany on the 5th from Florida and I could bring one with me if you really need one. I'm going to be visiting some friends up near Niedersachsen and Holland is not that far west of where I am going.

I'd even help you install it while I am over there.

Ehr, that's mighty nice of you, but I live as far from germany as possible at the north sea coast.(Not intentional, just born here and never left)

From Den Haag to Niedersachsen is about 500 km (300 mi)
Bit of a long drive vice versa for a diff?
