The standard ratio for a side valve Series MM is 4.55 :1 which is the same as the 948 Minor although the axle is a different design. The early Series 11s had the same design axle as the Series MM but with a 5.375 ratio. You could fit a Series 11 diff to a Series MM but I think that you will just rev...

5 1/2 x 13 in Midget wheels on Traveller
