Hi everyone … anyone any idea if this is a standard part? or if Morgan only what the parts ref would be?

It will be a standard part - no bearing manufacturer would make a tiny number of bearings just for MMC. And somewhere on the bearing will be etched a part number which you can take to your local bearing factor.

Ive no idea but at a guess Volkswagen LT van. If you remove the bearing there should be a part number on it. Perhaps Simon from SiFab will know?

Final update folks ... with great help from James B W I was able to source the bearing (BRT 1217) at modest money and have it fitted.

It requires a lathed down long 35mm socket. But all done and ready from our departure to Dordogne later this week.

Once again the TM family proves its worth!
