" February issue on Hemmings Classic cars has an article on Mets. Page 18 (?) says
" use MG parts to change the rearend ratio. 

austin made the met; they, mg, and a bunch of other brands were all
part of bmc and like american companies they shared parts.  for
example see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMC_B-Series_engine for the
engine, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BL_O-Series_engine for some
derivatives, and all the cars and trucks they were used in.  the
family lasted until '99 and included diesels, and the final version
was a 16v 2L turbo with 197hp.  imagine that in a met!!!  or a perkins
prima 504-2t diesel [another derivative]...  interesting that in all
the years the stroke remained at 88.9mm and displacement increase
proceded only by bore increases.

met chassis and driveline parts of all sorts must also have had wide
and varied applications within bmc.
