Hi Guys, and Gals.........and GeoffK I can't speak highly enough about CTEK. They are superb battery mainteners. They come with both 'charging side' lead types, crocodile and eyelet with quick connector plug, and helps make them a wonderful bit of kit, Connecting the eyelet lead to the battery perma...

My car was originally Chrome Bumper. The previous owner (a friend) had a conversion carried out as a part of a ground up, nut and bolt rebuild. He determined that the new Chrome Bumpers are of questionable quality, and the cost of repairing and re-chroming the originals was phrohibitive, so he deci...

Hello Chris,

Many thanks for your RPS suggestion, I hadn't come across that in my searches.

I'm having a good look at it, because I'm honestly not a fan of the Chrome conversion, since the later dashboard inside, will always let it down.

What was your experience with the RPS, can you remember?

I've searched but can't seem to find any mention of converting a rubber bumper late MGB to chrome. Surely someone must have done this work. I was prepared to leave the 1978 roadster as is with it's rubber bumpers, that is until I took them off, for overall paintwork. The weight of them is quite alar...

Hello Ian, After you filled the seam with brass, how did you fix on the top strip? Did you use the original T section type, with the vertical section cut off, or a substitute strip? I've hear of someone using the stick-on lead strip, used for pseudo leaded lights glazing. Would this be durable enoug...

Hello MGB'ers. I've read, with great interest, the great nuggets of information in this thread on painting, and preparing. Firstly, my roadster is a very hard to love, 1978 RB, in the equally hard to like Hunter Green, BRG. I have owned chrome bumper roadster and GT back in the day, when the cars we...

Charles, How did you manage to take that photo :D I might see if removing the steering wheel might help me, and with raising the car up high on axle stands, or I might even be able to work my hands in there,(without my head under the dash) with the wheel off. As said earlier, it may well be bad oxid...

I realise that this long standing thread veered off into the area of temperature and pressure caps, but I'm definitely venturing back into the subject of voltage stabiliser. My fuel and temperature guages (1978 MGB RB) don't work so I suspect the voltage stabiliser. No longer being as nimble as I on...

So thread very carefully

Charles,

Thank for your photos of the handbrake cable securing strap options.

They are a great help in a work-around to removing the cable to fit a strap.

My my, doesn't that diff in the photos look clean.
