No they're not adjustable. Available from any morris suppliers.

I've had problems with the front wheel bearings from a major supplier, who I won't name publicly. The bearings were wobbly enough to get me an MOT advisory even when they were brand new. I persuaded the supplier to send me another set ("we've never had a problem with them") and the new ones were no better.

I notice that Bull Motif are now selling an alternative front wheel bearing kit which they claim is "the only one fit for purpose." I haven't tried it myself yet but it might be worth considering:

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

Alternatively you can take the old bearing and oil seal to your local bearing stockist and they will match it.
Are you sure that the hubs are not worn and the bearings are not moving in the hubs?
