Well, not really so...
I finally got around to looking at this item. Firstly, this can't be
used on a sprite without also changing the front mounting plate as it
has a different shape to accommodate the tensioner. If this is indeed
from a A+ engine, as Paul suggests, it is an odd early one I've never
seen before. I say this because it does not have the timing cover
crankcase vent canister and the type I've seen before is shaped
differently. That one is referred to as a "later type tensioner arm"
in the Mini workshop manual. I have a feeling finding the other parts
you need, particularly the mounting plate wound be difficult to find.
