Isn't it 5.625, 8x45 teeth ?
The Big 7 diff is different in that the 1/2 shafts are larger requiring  special bearings,(Reduced o/d I think) either side of diff to fit and boring out of the side tubes, I don't think the CWP ratio was any lower either ?
If you are running a 4 sp box you wouldn't need that low a ratio.

Oops! Never could count!!

The trouble with the Austin 5.65:1 sets is that the teeth are quite thin being 8:45 but in the same overall dimension CWP as the 5.25:1 with 8:42 teeth. David's 5.67:1 sets use a 7 tooth pinion which means a much more robust unit. I've used a set in my trials Chummy for many years having destroyed an Austin 5.65 set in about 18 months of trialing. I've fitted a further 5.67 to my hill climb Ulster for this season also.

Thanks for that info Steve, reassuring that you have had good success with the parts
