Barney:

I am not sure about the bar on an MGA, but I have installed the MGB sway
bar on my 52 TD, and also several other TDs and TFs. To do it right, you
should use the front A- arm and the springpan from the MGB. THe only other
thing that has to be modified is the Link from the bar to the front A-arm.
THe MGB one is about seven inches long. It needs to be cut and shortened.
The object is to have the sway bar as level as possible. It works great.
The car steers like it is on rails. Due to the fact that the MGA has an
identical suspension set up to the TD, I would think that it is a sure thing.

Cheers:
