Original Midget Wheel Bearings
Priced at £54.95 each The original RHP front wheel bearings used on the MG Midget, Austin Healey Sprite and Morris Minor have been out of production for many years. Reproduction non-face adjusted bearings are available, however these do not achieve the service life of the originals requiring more frequent replacement when excess play is detected. MGOC Spares has sourced a limited quantity of original RHP bearings. Face adjusted to within one thousandth of an inch and machined with the correct internal radius to fit against the MG Midget stub axle fillet. The RHP bearings are said to be the only bearings the car will ever need. To order call MGOC Spares and Accessories on 01954 230928 | www.mgocspares.co.uk

Priced at £59.99 or £64.99 (positive earth) Most of us now know that we can transform the usually dim and dangerous dash lighting on our beloved classic cars by upgrading to LED bulbs, but it has been a source of irritation that a standard dimmer switch will then be rendered useless. They are either on or off. For more than a decade, electronic development companies around the world have been trying to produce LED dash lighting bulbs that will dim with the original rheostat. Until now, none have succeeded, but now Better Car Lighting have produced new LED replacements for the original Lucas 987 bulbs which are very bright, and will dim beautifully using the standard dimmer switch. This kit will upgrade the warning lights too, and will also provide a solution to the problem that the charging system will stop working if you upgrade the ignition warning light to LED. In the kit there is a quick-fitting resistor lead, and with that fitted your charging system will work correctly regardless of what type of bulb is fitted. These new fully dimmable LED bulbs for the instruments are available in warm white, ivory white, daylight white, ice blue, sapphire blue and green.
