Re: Hard decision

It would be worth you putting the word around the clubs, MGOC and MGCC as they would have substantially greater catchment reach than this forum

Re: Hard decision

Nice car.

Rover 3.8 V8 engine and LT77 gearbox. Offers ?

It seemed a good idea at the time for an engine transplant but given how long it takes to get anything done I'd rather have the space back. It was from a running SD1 and was carefully dismantled by the previous owner and all parts pu...

Re: What to do with a rust bucket

I built a Hawk 289 in the 19902 or more specifically a flatter sided Hawk Ace body on a Hawk 289 chassis. Great fun though an expensive hobby that was frankly only achievable as I went halves with a work colleague who later bought out my half when he came into some money. It used MGB front and rear ...

Re: Lucas bullets

Ive soldered the ones that I have added and replaced but with the intention of also going back and crimping them when the tool arrives. And as I was typing this I just heard a resounding thud on the doormat so hopefully the right tool has arrived and I can progress this over the next few evenings. P...

Registration blocked by username and email

A friend tried registering but the process has failed and wont let him try again as the forum software thinks his email address is already in use so it wont allow what it sees as a 2nd registration. He had tried with the preferred username MGB281 then later tried starting with a new user name MGB182...

Lucas bullets

For the benefit of anyone who isnt aware or hasn't yet had to work it out the hard way like i just have: Lucas bullet connectors need to be fitted using a dedicated crimping tool (or just soldered very carefully at the end). Regular crimping tools and crimping ratchet pliers intended for generic ele...
