MGF uprights for a kit?

While doing an mot on a mg mgf today.
The front uprights and rear hubs look like good candidates for a kit?
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Arn't they just metro ones bolted onto the rear?





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

When the model changed from F to TF the suspension was revised because it wasn't held in very high regard, don't know how but the folk at the MG centre I use don't rate the early cars handling.

Maybe with the mods done in a kit they're ok...

limited wheel choice as I think the pcd is 95.25 so quite rare.

Worth checking out the entire album for a close look at a really neat and tidy Terrapin build.

PCD is really 3.75" a very common PCD in motorosport used on a lot of single seaters and older kit cars as it was the PCD used by smaller Triumphs, Lotus, TVR. Cateringvan......
