Wheel Bearings and stuff.

[Jay Nemeth-Johannes <jayj@hpislj.lvld.hp.com>]

Worked on the car this weekend.  Made a fair amount of progress,
especially undoing soe DPO stuff with the brakes.  It's all back,
except I am missing a bracket for attaching a flex hose to the Hard
line on the left front.  Anybody have a spare for a '58 MG Magnette? I
will probably need to fabricate as nobody lists this in their
catalogs.

Here's a newbie question.  I need to repack the wheel bearings.  The
shop manual calls for a GP grease.  Since these are ball bearings,
instead of later rolerbearings I am wondering what the best choice is.
II was tempted to goo with a long fiber wheel bearing grease anyway,
but decided to ask first.  So which is it, long fiber wheel bearing
grease or a general purpose heavy duty grease?

  Thanks.
