You might try wheelcomponents.com p/n 7502. It has a .61" shank (with what looks like a .68" shoulder for the washer or maybe just a stepped bore in the wheel). The washer size, if included, isn't li

Round speakers fit very well in the sides behind the seats, no metal cutting required other than a few holes for mounting screws. Other than that I'm no expert, but I'm pretty happy with my setup. My

Without rewatching the movie I don't know for sure, but I've never heard that a Roadster actually appeared in the movie "My Fair Lady". Rather, I heard the car (or rather its predecessor) was named F

I e-mailed and got a response from a woman who first reinforced the claim that the car was in the movie (not THAT car, by the way, despite what the ad implies), but a second e-mail from her indicated

Easy to see if you have the problem. Pop the hood open and have someone else sit in the car. Watch the brake master cylinder and tell them to press the pedal firmly. If you see ANY movement of the ma

I was able to remove my old one by putting the collar in a vise so the bearing itself was hanging below the vise, using a hammer to tap a brass cylinder (soft metal drift) around the inside of the ol

For less than $150, you can buy NISMO comp rear springs from your friendly local Nissan dealership. Of course these lower the rear and give a firmer ride, but they do have the "cool" factor. If the i

Some things not mentioned in Lou's reply, though it still may not change the numbers significantly: The Datsun calipers are a big hunk of metal and should only require replacement if they are broken.

The MGA uses the BMC B-series engines. These engines are the same externally as Datsun J-series, which is much smaller than the R16/U20. I'm sure it could be done - heck, anything can be done if you

Of course, this is all for my PL411, not for my Roadster, but these parts are pretty similar. The front studs are 1 5/8" from start of knurl to end of threads, which is 1/8" less than the rear studs.

I found a wheel stud that is 7/16-20, 2 1/8" long, but it has a round head, not a flat side, and the knurl is .472", just a bit bigger than stock, but the knurl is VERY short, maybe 1/8" to 1/4". For

There is nothing with numbers. There are grooves in the crankshaft pulley that signify TDC and a few other positions, and you have to get it about where it belongs (16 BTDC for non-smog Roadsters). I
