MG TD TF 1500 - TF Rear End ? 4.55.1 ?

Ouch...Think I have twisted an axle on my TF 1500. Thinkng about converting to 4.55.1 rear end.
Anybody out here have a good deal on one? (or know of one?)
Help! I don't want to be "TFless"! It's been less than 8 hours and allready I miss "coronoring robustly"!
Dangerously low on OSH...need to get her back on the road!
Cheers,

Go for a 4.3 ex MGA or you may regret putting in a 4,55. Your 1500 should pull it easily.

Any of you 'David' types ever notice how many 'David's own mgtf's ..... We realy could start our own mini-club of Tf-David-types. And Sheward. I have told you before about that drinking and 'cornering robustly'. You are gonna twist your own ass one day if you don't be carefull. Yo bubba Dave. (tf15).

Thanks to all that repled!
Have located parts for a 4.3 conversion....and the help of someone that knows what they are doing!
(unlike yours truley!)
Should be up and running by next week.
Mr. Tinker....thanks for the advise on the 4.3...I do belive you are the gent with the "right-hand-drive"
twin to my TF....got to keep them the same!
D. Cates....had not even started drinking yet when I did this one....got my stupid wooden leg stuck on the dimmer switch again and let the clutch out a bit "too robustly".....as for "cornoring robustly"....I'll never stop that...just feels too good! (think I am going to have to move the dimmer switch)
Cheers,
