Anyone know for sure the bearing numbers for the front (or precise donor car details - I know it's Ford!) Search on here seems to suggest same as the rear (QH kit QWB532/533) but I thought they were different?

Sounds right to me (although it was a while ago I did mine). One part number is for one side, the other number is for the other, QWB532 (L) and QWB533 (R). I think the only difference is the nut. The kit I received had both nuts in, so it would fit either. I went to my local bearing supplier.

Hi Gary
As you say the QH kit QWB532/533 is the correct designation for the Left/Right front wheel bearings. When ordering the rear bearings be very careful - unfortunately the eBay sourced "rear" wheel bearings I ordered were in fact front wheel bearings. The difference is the rear bearing needs 2 x seals per bearing (i.e. inner to seal against the half shaft and outer to seal against the stub axle) whereas the front only needs an outer seal due to the inner side of the bearing being capped off. I'm sure if you order from any of the TVR specialists all will be ok but just be careful if like me you try to get a cheapo off eBay.
