Re: Extended stub axles for coilovers
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.

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.

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...
