Default Where to buy passenger side wheel hub?

The front passenger wheel hub has worn on the swivel joint at the bottom
Rimmers no longer sell them, I'd prefer to get a brand new one than risk an old one with the same problem (the Rover Specialists in Maidenhead say it's very common)

Does anyone know somewhere that sells new ones?

I would think brand new hubs are getting very rare , a good second hand one may be the only option now

Do we know if the mgzt hub is an option? Just thinking they are likely to be newer and less likely to be worn
Frustratingly rimmers still sell drivers side hubs!

The hubs are common fit 75/ZT.
There are late model hubs on eBay.
Example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-2...AAAOSwpkFY7UgT

The LH/RH hubs are not the same. I got one from the scrappers and it was ok.

I bought mine from EBay when the pics bolt was seized.

Cost under 40 quid incl postage.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262918072653

Included a much lower mileage bearing.

Seems fine after a month
