Q & A: Magnette Rear Axels

Hi John,
Anyway, a fellow has offered me a 4.1 rear axle (pumpkin) from a 1960 MGA 1600. Would this fit the ZB Magnette? As easy as the early MGB 3.9? Do I need the half shafts? Does the spline coarseness or fineness differ between these gear sets? If it will work, is it just an exchange or is there more to it? Finally what would be the approximate roadspeed in mph per 1000 rpm?
Thanks for your time,
John

John!

There are three different sets of differential wheels you can fit into these diffs: 10 spline; 25 spline; and 26 spline. You can always take the wheels from YOUR diff and insert them into the 4.1 diff.
