Question:
Will this fit a 1977 Midget without wire wheels - steel wheels? Does the center of the hub go through the rim?
Answer:
Great question and yes, if you have steel wheels, then it will work.  Also, it doesn't stick out any more than the standard axle  -  and they’re super cool.

Now, if you have wire wheels, they won't work.  For wire wheel you would need .  Wire Wheel Race Axle , Sprite , & MG Midget     Part # BTA807-COMP

Hope that helps.

Question:
May I use these for light drifting and daily driving and not have them break on my MG Midget 1500
Answer:
Absolutely. These are designed to be much more durable than the original axles.

Question:
The competition axle, does it mean the half shaft can be withdrawn without having to disturb the flange e.g. for quick diff changes?
Answer:
Hi Peter,

The competition aspect of these is the harder material, otherwise these are just like the stock type. They install and remove just like the stock type.
