tbourner Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Does anyone know anything about MGBs and MG V8s? I'm asking for a friend who's building a rod at the moment, he wants wire wheels and hubs on it from an MGB, but doesn't believe the V8 did wire wheels. Is the axle in the MG V8 the same as the axle in the MGB, other than the diff ratio? i.e.: Salisbury, Timken? Would the MGB spoke wheels fit on the MG V8 axle? If they're different what's the width of both? ps.: Anyone got any huggers for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 V8 used 60 spoke wire wheels iirc, not the normal 48 spoke ones. no idea on the ratios/type of diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 My friend did a V8 conversion into an MGB Roadster - just killed the diff though. He's going to have an LSD this summer I reckon. Sadly he's on his honeymoon so I can't ask him about it Ask me again in two weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
