Pretty sure this MGF one is the same, certainly looks it, but could anyone confirm?

It does look the same. I do wonder about the condition of the item in the photo though - looks like the flange has been turning in the bearing or it got a right mullering whilst being removed. Better than nothing if you're stuck I guess.
Cheers,
Robin

Only used that one as a comparison, looks a bit worn, but it opens it up a lot more if it is the same as there are plenty of complete MGF hubs going for the £20 mark with the flange attached, just ditch the hub.
Need a flange to finnish off a spare set of rear hubs with new bearings fitted, and half way to building up a front set.
A bit late now, but ideal to take on Stevios/FF, etc, bearing goes just fit the complete spare hub carrier.

I don't think they are the same,
nearly, but on the MG hub flange there is a ridge where the LOTUS brake disks don't go over (centre hole in the disk gets stuck on that ridge)

Thanks Bob, just what I needed to know.
On the other hand just give it to Craig and he will grind it off.

good, I must have had an earlier version ????
try the brake disk just to make sure, it should go all the way till the flange. I had to scave off a bit of the edge of the centre hole on the disk.
