One thing I learned al long time ago, was that you can get an amazing
number of MG parts by going to the generic auto parts store and holding the
part up & asking if they have "one of these."  When I was in grad school in
Pittsburgh, PA (where foreign cars were a bad thing in the 70's) I was very
successful in getting many parts for my MGA in that manner.

I recently did the came thing for my MGB carb filters.  I determined the
thread I needed & the required length. Iwent to the local auto parts store
& asked the counter person for a stud with such & such thread x inces long
- and they handed them to me.
