Q & A: Midget Rear Wheel Circlips

Wednesday January 04th, 2006
Q & A, MGA, MGB, MGC, MG T-Type, Midget
John: I'm installing new rear brakes cylinders and linings on my 1974 Midget. It's late Saturday night, Sunday is soon to arrive, and I'm afraid I'm about to utter some words I should not say on a Sunday. This regards the installation of the large circlip that attaches the wheel cylinder to the backplate.
