The hub nut end is 16 mm, the damper end is 1/2" UNF, I got some new sleeves with mine to replace the 3/8" damper sleeve. Outstanding quality bespoke parts.

I've been informed the thread is 16 mm, so not really A-series spec, so they're more K-series spec than A-series.

Re: Extended stub axles for coilovers

Shame he doesn't make them for K series :/ I'm fairly sure it is the nut and thread that are the only difference, they can be made to suit if required, but given the so far limited demand he'd need a few buyers interested to do K-series specific ones.

Extended stub axles for coilovers

Alan on the Midas forum has had some A-series Metro spec extended stub axles made for the Midas that uses coil-overs as standard.
They're £100 delivered and include new nuts and washers.

The thread can be found here http://midasownersclub.co.uk/forums/vie ... =54&t=2761

Re: MK1 vs MK2 radius arm

At last, I found that the one you suggested is correct for my car and same part number. So I bought it. The other http://www.ebay.it/itm/OFFSIDE-ROVER-METRO-RADIUS-ARM-/322438782690?hash=item4b12d95ee2:g:EFAAAOSw2xRYWQi5 isn't. here's an offside one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLASSIC-AUSTIN-METRO-NO...

I agree, I tend to avoid sites that are this bright.
