Hi Guys.

        Just a quick note supporting some of the comments made about the
usefulness of MGB front bearing spacers.
        This clip came from the Rob Beere Jaguar E-Type Racing Website.
They sell a bearing spacer, identical to the one supplied stock on the MGB,
for the E-Type front stub axle that offers the following advantages.
>These spacers serve two purposes: firstly they increase the effective
diameter of the stub axle by 25%, secondly they positively locate both inner
and outer bearings, allowing the adjuster-nut to be fully tightened. This
eliminates axle flex and so brake pad knock-off. <

        Hopefully this helps in clouding the question further.

regards

Kelvin.
