RV8 rear wheel bearing kit
Limited supply of the rear wheel bearing kit GHK1546
available.
MG Rover price is £79.31 plus VAT.
Our price is £49.50 including VAT plus £4.50
P&P UK only.
RV8
front wheel bearing kit complete with hub
MG Rover price is £281.19 plus VAT.
Our price is £199.50 plus VAT.
RV8
early front wheel bearing kit without the hub
Our price £59.50 + VAT. Note, the RV8 early bearing kit without
the hub is not now supplied by MG Rover but Clive Wheatley can supply
the kit. The early bearing kit is for RV8s prior to axle front cross
member number PE2316. This number is stamped on the nearside
rear fixing leg of the front suspension cross member and can be
viewed by looking behind the rear of the front road wheel. See RV8
Workshop Note 38 by Bryan Ditchman in Volume 1 of the RV8 Workshop
Notes series. Clive feels this news "could cause interesting
comments from members in Japan because he has heard from an RV8
member there that the front wheel bearing kit is over £600.00 per
side!".
RV8
Repair Manual AKM7153
Copies of this essential document for RV8 enthusiasts can be obtained
from Clive Wheatley. The manual is in a convenient loose leaf format
in a good quality D-ring folder with colour covers with MG RV8 logos.
The manual covers the Japanese specification air-conditioning system.
Clive supplies copies of the manual at £45.00 plus packaging
and delivery. He uses the courier service Citylink to deliver
the manuals to members in the UK - as a guide, the cost is around
£5.50 as the manual is quite heavy.
RV8
back axle reconditioning service
Recently Clive found the original supplier for both the crown
wheel and pinion and the LSD for the RV8. A new batch of crown wheel
and pinions has been produced and they are now available. So Clive
has solved a potential difficulty which might have become an increasing
concern for RV8 enthusiasts with back axles needing repair.
Clive has also launched an RV8 back axle reconditioning service
at a time when several RV8s have been experiencing noisy back axles
and showing signs of wear. The service is based on complete reconditioning
of members' own back axles, including both the crown wheel and pinion
and limited slip differential. An exchange service is not available.
The RV8 back axle was a one-off unit for the RV8 whereas the LSD
was not so. The availability of crown wheel and pinion parts have
been a concern whereas the LSD components less so. Clive says "there
are twelve gears in the RV8 LSD so it has always been a little noisy
rather than the other type of LSD with a clutch. Recently I have
had two RV8s needing treatment on the back axles - the most recent
was a 70,000 mile RV8 with a noisy back axle so I thought it was
time to do something as many cars are approaching or beyond that
mileage". In terms of cost, Clive indicates "it
will depend on the amount of reconditioning work and parts that
are found to be necessary, but as a guide reconditioning is likely
to be in the range £500 to £1,000 including labour
and materials plus VAT for the reconditioned back axle".
On top of this you will need to add the costs of removing the back
axle, freight both ways and reinstallation. As a guide, the price
of a new RV8 back axle from MG Rover's spare parts suppliers is
reported to be around £2,000 including VAT so a complete reconditioning
service is a worthwhile option for an RV8 enthusiast!
RV8
half tonneau cover
Clive Wheatley has limited stocks of the RV8 half tonneau
available. MG Rover price is £195.00 plus VAT. Our price is
£175.00 plus VAT.
RV8
full tonneau
The MG Rover price is around £165.00 plus VAT, but Clive has
them at £135.00 plus VAT. A question RV8 enthusiasts
often ask is "why is the full tonneau less than the smaller
half tonneau?" and Clive's response is there is a great
deal more work in making a half tonneau which dresses round the
folded hood.
New
RV8 wheels - 17 inch split rim with titanium bolts
As the RV8 road wheels (ZKC5700 and ZKC6749) are no
longer available and we have been told it will not be made again,
Clive Wheatley has found a source of supply for the prototype three
piece spilt rim wheel. It is available as the original 15 inch diameter
wheel or as 17 inch wheel suitable for a low profile 205x50x17 tyre.
The cost of the 15 inch split rim wheel is £215.00
and the 17 inch, £290.00 each, both plus VAT.
The 17 inch wheel and tyre was shown in the April/May 2002 issue
of MG World magazine and in the August 2002 issue of Safety Fast!
The 15 inch prototype split rim wheel can be seen in the MGV8 Twenty
One Years On book by David Knowles on page 74. It is shown fitted
to the third development car (White ADDDEV03) registration JGT 808
N owned by our member Alan Torbett in Worcestershire. Contact Clive
Wheatley on 01902 330489 for further information on these wheels
and their availability.
