MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Speedi-sleeve

good afternoon. After nearly 10 years i have retired from my midget 1500. Gone to an excellent home. Just left with our 'F' My question is does anyone know which speedi-sleeve is required for a midget..front crank to timing cover I believe 'a' series and 1500 are the same. I have one 99199 but want to be sure of its application.. Several people have helped me out over the years and it was much appreciated I have to say it is a LOT easier getting in/out of an F

I think it is a 2 inch 50.8 mm pulley so should be a 99199 sleeve

I’ve just measured a spare 1500 pulley at 2”. A-series is 1-9/16”.

I think Malcolm was looking for a speedi- sleeve, unless he’s already bought one?

A bit slow on this... but I bought one yesterday. Yes it is 2" on the 1500.

And for reference (as I bought it at the same time) the seal is 3" x 2" x 0.375".
