<html><body><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><div>Guys, the differences in the deluxe/twin cam and the 1600/1622 are all in the brakes (other than the motor in the twinkie). Deluxe/twinkie have dunlop disks on all four corners and have a different master cyl. 1600/1622 have Lockheed disks up front and drums in the rear. The "deluxe" was born when MG discontinued the twin cam and still had a number of twin cam chassis left over. They made no note at the time of which cars received the twin cam chassis'.<br></div><div>The Moss catalog has a section in the back specifically for the twin cam and deluxe which includes the braking system. Refer to that section to see what parts are different. I have always had slop in the spacer inside of the hub until the nut is tightened on my MKII. If your spindle has too much wear that the inner bearing race spins on it, you may be able to repair it with a speedy sleeve.<br></div><div>HTH<br></div><div><br></div><div>Gordie Bird<br></div><div>'62 MGA<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Clayton Kirkwood via Mgs" <mgs@autox.team.net><br><b>To: </b>mgs@autox.team.net<br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, July 3, 2015 4:39:51 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Mgs] follow up on mga 1622 suspension issues<br><div><br></div><style><!--

--></style><div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">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.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">crk</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:windowtext">From:</span></b><span style="color:windowtext"> Charley & Peggy Robinson [mailto:ccrobins@ktc.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, July 03, 2015 1:12 PM<br><b>To:</b> crk@godblessthe.us; mgs@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Mgs] follow up on mga 1622 suspension issues</span></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Argh!
