The car looks wonderful to me (apart from the front bumper of course)
Does anyone out there know what aircon evaporator that is? It fits very compactly and I would like to fit an aircon to AE547 as it becomes rather warm in Africa!

Rob,
I once found out about someone in the UK that recons them.I cant recall where I placed the info,getting old!!Give me a few days and see what I can do. From hazy memory I traced him from Rover P4 people, it would seem it uses the same latch. I cant believe they was made specifically for such a short run as MGA coupe's

Hi Roger,
It comes in bar form,either solid or hollow
I used it all over except king pins,but that is not to say it would not work in that application.I machined eccentrically on the spring eyes in order to get cambers correct.
I machined the bushes as a nice press fit into the wishbone etc then reamed to size so that the pins rotated as one would expect them to. There is no heat issue where we would use them so a nice rotation seems to work.I would suggest you e them and ask who their agent is in the uk.It machines and reams very nicely.
I used it as to grease all those bushes is a pain in the but and the grease works like a magnet for dirt.
I smeared the pins with copper slip before fitting to hopefully prevent any corrosion of them if water got in
cheers

I replaced all my bushes with ones made from Vesconite,never have to lube again.
Vesconite is an engineering plastic developed for the South African mining industry for slow rotating bushes in very dusty and gritty enviroments.
When conventional lubricated bushes were used the lube collected the dust to form grinding paste. Vesconite solved the problem as no oil or grease is used.
