I have a set of NOS bearings on my bench here, Glacier (AE) part number
B4512LC-.010 (marked as being for Austin, Leyland, MG, Morris). My
recollection is that these are MGB rod bearings which I bought to use in my
1500 Spitfire. They're a wider bearing but fit the Spitfire with a little
modification of the locating tangs, IIRC.
I know that I've done this installation before, but can't recall (or find any
notes) about how it worked out. Could be one of those 1500cc motors that blew
up when I was having so much trouble with oiling.
Has anyone else done this? Confirmation that it's a good or bad idea?
Would be nice to use them rather than buying new ones. But I'd rather hand
them to one of our MG pals if it's a bad idea.
Scott
