Mg tf alloys
Hi, have just seen a clean set of mg tf alloys on the bay for a good price and very local, just wondering does anyone know if they fit straight on a minor ? cheers

Re: Mg tf alloys
Long answer: No, they're 3.75 inch PCD, whereas a Minor is 4 inch.
The only way to fit them (and the only reason you may have seen them on Minors) is that Marinas have the same PCD. So if someone has fitted Marina discs and rear axle, then they can fit MGF wheels.

Re: Mg tf alloys
how difficult and expensive is this as i can kill two birds with one stone here (alloys and uprated brakes)
as i would have to spend £160 on tyres and more money on the drums anyway so could be cheaper to modify my car than to restore brakes and wheels?

Re: Mg tf alloys
Or.. probibly a stupid zaney idea but if finding parts for a marina are so dificult, how hard would it be to use mgf barkes/axels? as spares are easily available and would be designed to take those wheels.

Re: Mg tf alloys
The TF is mid engine and rear wheel drive and all round discs.
They would fit.. but you can get anything to fit. Unless anyone has attempted it, we'll never know.

Re: Mg tf alloys
...and Marina hubs.
Best to see ESM and their marina disc brake conversion. The new hubs they sell are made at 4 inch PCD though. Not sure if they can do standard Marina PCD. So may require donor hubs from a scrap Marina.

Re: Mg tf alloys
or if you post a wanted ad for marina front calipers & rear axle in the club mag, you may get just what you want
I bet there's a few out there that got parts for a conversion, and then let them gather dust for 10+ years...
