I think they are different and didn't the BRM one have a LSD?

Inclined to agree. I think the 160 box is the same as the other hatches (although ratios mY be different but not sure on that either) but the BRM ones are definitely fitted with a LSD and are quite difficult to get hold of.

Correct-BRM box has an LSD, hence it would be nice, but they're rare.

The ZR160 box has shorter ratios than the one I currently have, hence why I want one.

Gearings are all different and as mentioned the BRM has a Torsen LSD. If anyone wants to know the gear ratios for any MGR then I can post them up

btw, he already asked me and my BRM boxes are spoken for

If you could please Matt, then I can compare the gearboxes I'm looking at.

I think it's great that Matt has not just one BRM box !!!!

We have one.... but I think Dawn would miss it

Quaiff can fit an ATB diff into a PG1 box iirc.

As if by magic, a BRM box has appeared for sale...

It just happens to come with a load of other bits, the sale of which may well offset the initial purchase.

I've always found myself acquiring a selection of parts but these were planned, fitted one BRM box to my metro pickup the other week and my other one is to go in the TF with the Turbo, my other Metro I have a brand new type B Torsen diff to go in a Vi box. Got new type A in ZS and type B in Fizzbot, LSD is the way to go

anyway gear ratios...
