MG MGA - Crankshaft rear oil seal

Have any of you guys found a reliable rear crankshaft oil seal conversion kit?

Thanks

Hi Colin

Im having mine done at the moment by Don Loughlin in Kidderminster. Don is semi retired so it's run by Steve now.
The rough cost is £250 for the whole job engine delivered to him.

There is a simpler solution for the rear seal. I don't have any personal experience with it but this is making the rounds here in the U.S. I tried to post the 3 pg. pdf instructions, but for some reason this site pulls in only the first page. I'd be happy to forward it via e-mail if anyone would like a full copy. Just send me a note to:

nixxone@optimum.net

Additionally, Kent Prather (Prather Racing) has designed a rear seal kit, cost approx $220, which apparently makes the earlier seal solution easier to install. Kent can be contacted at:

Nick thanks for that info. The double O ring is a different idea! I will try to locate the O rings here in the UK and have a look at that.

I have been in touch with Kent Prather. His kit seems to be the MGAguru idea.
