MG Midget and Sprite Technical - 1275 Gearbox front cover

The gearbox front cover is the variety with just a scroll, does anyone have a version with a proper seal for sale or a suggestion where to obtain one?

I'd prefer a used one at those prices!

I think all the repro ones have a seal.

If you have access to a lathe, it is possible to open the hole out and add a lip seal.

Try Heathrow Transmissions, may be cheaper than Peter May. Same modification.
David Smith

After searching, around the cheapest option is to send it to Australia for rework!

For the other gearbox rebuild bits I did a shopping basket comparison between Leacy and Moss. Leacy came out 25% cheaper AND has free shipping whereas Moss shipping costs are additional. So that made Leacy 35% cheaper on the basket.
