1980 MGB standard to Wire Wheels conversion

[Guest Hillock]

I'm in the process of restoring a 1980 MGB. When I bought the car, it had standard wheels, but I'm thinking of converting it to wire wheels. However, I'm having trouble determining what all I need in order to complete the conversion. Can anyone provide some guidance?

Thanks

All of the major LBC suppliers (Moss, The Roadster Factory, British Victoria, etc.) stock complete kits for wire wheel conversion on MGBs. You can order everything you need out of their catalogs. The Roadster Factory's catalog page for these conversions is: Wheels: Wire Wheel Splined Hubs, MGB, 1965-80 Wheel Bearing Kits, MGB, MGB-GT :(page 7)

The Roadster Factory also has a very good technical assistance line @ (814)446-4491. They're pretty good at giving advice instead of sales pitches.

I have no idea how a frowny face got into that link for TRF, but the link still works.:confused:
