Rear Axle Gears

We are busy preparing my Roger Furneax 4.61 cwp for my black TC
and have a problem:
Inside the CWP cage, there are 4 gears (spider) plus 2 gears (sun?)
that are splined to accept the 1/2 shafts. These sun gears slide into
the cage assembly. I have a cage with sun gears about 33mm dia on
the bearing surface and one is missing. I got hold of another sun gear
also from a TC but it is much larger and of course does not fit. I never
heard of different sizes here - can anyone explain? And has anyone
got a spare smaller gear?

Are you sure you have a TC Diff. in there Viv? Roger just did mine (and a good job he did too) but it turned out to be a Morris ten diff, and not a TC one. I believe that the only real difference between the two is on the pinion size, though I am sure that Roger will chime in and put us right, so I don't expect you have a M 10 diff. However I was wondering if any others would fit?

Ian, I'm not sure of anything anymore but I've managed to locate
another gear the right size here in Cape Town.
I do know that the cwp from this assembly was 5.125:1 which is
standard TC.
Have not heard from Roger yet.

Ian, Viv, Roger and all,
Thank goodness! I thought I was the only person in the history of the
universe to have a dodgy diff! Same symptoms; TC halfshafts fit like a
glove,one filler hole but on the other side, MOWOG cast everywhere, etc.,
etc. This unit was on the car when I got her in '63 and though the ratios
escape me at present I always assumed that it was something to do with the
16" rears on the old girl.
