Re: Improvement ideas

In order to receive some really helpful advice, you might like to specify what area(s) you would like to improve: Looks, performance, handling, ride comfort, reliability? I'm sure you'll get lots of suggestions but I bet they'll differ, especially if you give some idea of budget.

Re: Travel Tool Kit

Pleased to report that having driven MGB's on continental tours for years, I've never had to use any of the spare parts carried. Agree with all previous suggestions but didn't see any reference to spare rubbers for master cylinders, clutch slave and wheel cylinders. They're cheap and take up little ...

Re: SC/CR gearbox

Thanks everyone. More to ponder...... I had heard that EP90 was the oil to use but, specifically, in non-overdrive boxes only. I'm gong to use this box with 20/50 like I did with the last one. Watch this space!

SC/CR gearbox

I've managed to get my hands on a straight-cut close-ratio gearbox for my MGB. I used standard 20/50 oil in one I owned previously, any ideas/comments if this is still the best to use? Many thanks.

GRP bumpers?

I'm trying to locate the company that does/did? make replica MGB rubber bumpers from fibreglass. No crash protection I know, but they were very light. The company may not be trading anymore but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
