| Technical Information (MGB 4B) Last Modified - 03/21/03 British Automotive would like to offer the MGB owner a conveniently priced complete rear suspension package. This suspension package is applicable for all MGB's fitted with tube axles only. Weighing in at approximately 50lbs, as compared with the OEM rear suspension weight of approximately 75lbs, you get an entirely updated rear suspension system, including all necessary mounting hardware. This complete rear suspension package consists of the following: Composite Spring Set
P0002529 P0002535 P0002337 All components are powder coated or zinc plated for corrosion protection Please indicate whether chrome or rubber bumper model, along with either disc or wire wheel tube axle. MGB owners wishing to install just the composite springs be advised that as of the above date, all composite spring sets will be sold inclusive with British Automotive's traction control arm kit. This item can be viewed by accessing technical articles MGB27. These new composite spring sets have
now been updated around a totally redesigned rear-mounting eye.
The rear shackle eye mounting is now identical to that of the front.
In doing so, the MGB & MGA owner will now have more flexibility
in the installation process, as well as the opportunity to replace
these new insert bushings as necessary. The only solution to this problem was simply to incorporate British Automotive's adjustable rear spring shackle assembly into the design. In the following image, the composite spring set mounting hardware is shown in its entirety. Obviously, the actual spring blades are omitted for clarity. I believe that the majority of MGB & MGA owners will immediately recognize the quality and value that has gone into this kit. COMPOSITE SPRING

Viewing the image left to right as follows: British Automotive's adjustable rear ride height shackle pin kit. Redesigned rear eye mounting assembly. Composite spring to rear axle mounting hardware.

In the past customers have complained about the difficulty in custom hand fitting the upper Delrin shackle bushings which, were provided within the composite spring hardware kit. Thanks to this customer feedback, we will now be providing the 95 durometer polyurethane bushings only. Customers wishing to install these Delrin bushings can order a set (4) separately under PART # REAR/BUSH List price $19.80. This will be a limited
production run. Price and availability will be posted on the web
