[Mgs] follow up on mga 1622 suspension issues

[Clayton Kirkwood]

No problem. Confusion is always entertaining, especially when it has
pictures:<)))) Again, I don't have a KKK or deluxe twin cam, I have a mkII
which is a KK.

I found this thread on  MGE :
http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2109993

Post #11 is from Barney Gaylord.  It has a link to the Dunlop brake section
KKK.  Looks like if you have tapered roller bearings, you need the shims.
If the spacer in one of your hubs is rattling around 3/8", it may not be the
right spacer.  
I've been trying to help.  Sorry for the confusion on the link to the
airplane.

Yep. From what I've learned here, one of the big differences between a 1600
and 1622 MkI and MkII v. the deluxe and twin cam, is the brakes. Up front,
the deluxe and twin cam have the Dunlop braking which do require the shims.
It isn't shown in the picture you quoted, but below in the listing, there
are shims listed for the deluxe and twin cam.

Argh!  Here's the intended page:

I looked more carefully.  There is a different spacer, outer bearing & the
shims for the Mk II DeLuxe & Twin Cam.

Trying to find the right MGA is a PITA.  It looks like the Mk.II DeLuxe had
a 1622cc engine but it's still located as a MGA 1600 in most of the manuals.
I wish Barney would check in.

Um, Charley, that's a nice picture of a plane, but I don't think it has the
shims you speak of:<)))
