I have a number of front wheel bearings for 2 litre saloon/Buckland.

Both inner and outer bearings. Also a set in in front hubs ready to go.

These bearings are now nigh on impossible to find and if you do they a mega expensive. I had been saving these for my ol' girl but as now on Disc brakes using Jag hubs and bearing I do not need them.

So available for offer of £40 a side or £70 a full set. The hubs with them already fitted £90.

They are in excellent condition.

Will post any where just ask.

Cheers

I have a fully refurbed 3/4 inch master cylinder for 2 litre saloon or Buckland.

I have removed from my 2 litre as fitting 1 inch master cylinder to suit my disc conversion.

The 3/4 mc will fit all models and give better braking.

Offers of around £100 for this very rare mc.

I will post abroad.

I have more pics if you want, in excellent fully working condition.

So disc brake conversion sorted.

I used jaguar mk2 hub and bearings. Had to have spindle machined down  a gnats cock so the inner bearing fitted, the outer bearing has same bore as AC one. Needed a spacer made up at rear of spindle so I could use all mk2 jaguar parts. Will stick some pics on here shortly once I  remember  how to do it.

Cheers col

Glad to see your still plugging on.

Yes I like the old hemi 250 lump too. Hard to find and expensive to buy.

Still at least the rover is light and lumpy.

Take care.

Well I see the Forum is still its thriving and buzzing face of AC ownership :(

Anyway, The Ol Girl has been very busy over the last 6 months or so going here and there, but now then engine block has suffered a crack in the block.

So engine out, along with gearbox scratch head and think I know lets go V8 ;D So block stripped most of the bits sold to Triumph enthusiasts hither and dither. Buy a large cube Rover V8 done, convert to dizzy done, Source 4 speed ZF auto from a Jaguar xj40 done, get Disco bellhousing and flexiplate setup done, see if it all fits nearly done, getting there.

Front disc conversion on way.

Hope to have done by her 75th birthday which happens to be same day as my 70th.

Well guys keep at it.

Stay safe and the right way up.

I see this 2 Litre went for a hefty £3400 ish. High price with a rotten frame and all full of wood worm. I say good luck to the buyer.

I was offered this for the princely sum of £650, however I did not have space for it, nor time.

Some one bought this off of the chap that was selling with the promise to rebuild it, but clearly he just fitted the dated new tyres that came with it and shifted it on via auction.

Still he made a nice earner.
