MGB Steel Wheel Banjo Axle Conversion

MGB Steel Wheel Banjo Axle Conversion: 1962 - 1967

The MGB Steel Wheel Banjo Axle Conversion applies to early MGB roadsters produced between 1962 and 1967, originally equipped with the Banjo-style rear axle. Retaining the classic 1798 cc four-cylinder powerplant, this conversion adapts the chassis to accept modern steel or wire wheels, improving durability and maintenance while preserving the car’s authentic open-top sports car character. It bridges the gap between period charm and practical usability, ensuring that your MGB combines classic styling with reliable road manners.
