MGRV8 Handling for the classic MGB and MGBGT
New performance suspension kit from British Motor Heritage
An uprated performance front suspension kit for the MGB Roadster and =
GT, which replaces the entire cross member including springs, shock =
absorbers, discs and callipers, has been introduced by British Motor =
Heritage for =A31,500 plus VAT. Originally developed for the MGRV8, =
which revived the MG name on sports cars, it is a straight swap onto =
the MGB or MGB GT bodies. By replacing the original king pin design =
with ball joints, modifying the suspension geometry, upgrading the =
damping and brakes with vented discs and four pot callipers, the BMH =
conversion provides lighter steering with better response and greater =
stopping power.
Anyone interested in purchasing a Heritage MGB performance suspension =
kit should quote model (chrome or rubber bumper) and wheel design =
(steel or wire). The kits are manufactured to fit cars with standard =
ride heights, and any changes should be notified when ordering. =
Commenting on the new suspension, Brian Cameron, British Motor =
Heritage Managing Director said, This performance kit provides the =
first real breakthrough in MGB suspension. By using the MGRV8 =
suspension design it transforms the handling of the MGB for use on =
modern roads.
The MGB performance suspension kit is available from British Motor =
Heritage Specialists. A full list of Specialists can be obtained from =
British Motor Heritage on 01 993 707200.
