What car? Have they got anything written on them - 'AC' perhaps? Same as mine if so.

Unfortunately no, it is one of those things when building your car you know everything about it. When buying one you don't really know what you've got and you then go on a longer journey of discovery, discovery of just what "you've" bought.

Well - is it a Hawk? If so, same as MGB, AC Cobra, TR2-3-4-5-6, Healey 3000 (early) etc.

Roger,
It's a BRA but the early Tyler version. Featured in a magazine which helpfully gave some information. I have managed to speak with various people about various bits.

Yes, I'll bet they're MGB, you should be OK.

Roger,
That's the way i'm leaning having just had the rear-diff done [well replaced with Quaife].
Your AC one's are they comparable with MG ones?.

They are the same. The IVA kit contains MGB Hex-nut spinners, which people replace with AC ones post-test.

Hawk usually have them, probably the other usual suspects.
