Patton,
I am not sure what model of MG you are talking about (I, contrary to the
SO's opinion, con not remember everything) but an A-Arm should cost about
$160 from Moss. That's what mine cost when I had to do it on the Midget.
Other wise call Ted Schumacher. He may have a good one for a reasonable
price.
I agree if you are going to do the whole front suspension and are
thinking conversion - do it all at once. There'll be MOWOG to pay if you
do it in two steps.
