I have found in a box of spares a rear camshaft pedestal made of light alloy. 
 The cap is steel, but the base is alloy.  Can anyone tell me if this is an 
MG item?  I would have thought that the weight saving was not worth the 
bother?

I also have an almost complete set of alloy rods - same design as M Type 
steel rods.  Would these have been fitted as original equipment to an engine 
(if so, what car?).  If not, were they aftermarket parts?

Thanks in advance,
