[Zmagnette] OT: MGB front suspension

[Allen Bachelder]

Thanks guys,

That was the only variable I could think of.  If I wasn't so darn sure that I matched the sides correctly, I would have switched them before consulting the list.  OTOH, I was half-expecting somebody to tell me that's what they're supposed to look like! ;-) But I don't see how the kingpins would ever fit... or even the lower trunions, for that matter. Now I'm anxious to get these apart and see what the numbers say.

Thanks again!
Allen

I'm building up the front suspension on my '65 B and the pix tell the story - same situation on both sides.  Rear A-arms are not handed, nor are the spring pans, but front A-arms are.  Regrettably the Moss stickers are under the pan flanges, but I am quite sure I was very careful to get RF and LF in the right places.  But surely, the situation shown in the pix cannot be right.  I must have reversed positions on the front A-arms, right?  Or Moss mislabeled them?  No big deal to fix now, but I want to catch it before things get messy!

I'm negotiating with a fellow right now regarding design/build of a serpentine belt set-up - which I believe would be the ultimate solution.  I'm trying to determine approximate price and details as I write.  If you're sort-of interested, please let me know.  Preferably off-list: waywardmgs at comcast.net.  Kelvin, you may have parts for the solution at hand also, in which case, "we need to talk..."
