MGB Register Forum

Back along time ago I was a student at City of Birmingham Polytechnic. The Poly library used to take Autocar. Some time around about 1980 there was an article in Autocar about Bill Nicholson's MGB. One of the things I remember about the article is that he had fitted brake 3 pot calipers from an earl...

On the rear of the Smiths speedo in an MGB is a threaded sleeve that the collar on the outer of the speedo cable screws onto. Can anyone tell me what the diameter is? Even better if you can identify the thread as well. Brantz have an adapter which they say is for Smiths and Jaeger with an M12 x 1mm ...

My local motor factor has sump plug washers by size. Can anyone tell me the internal diameter of the sump plug washer on a 5 bearing B...

Where the 2 large bolts, each side, pass through the bodywork the holes are larger than the diameter of the bolt. So there is some flexibility available. I suggest loosening the main bolts both sides and also the 2 smaller bolts in the middle. Sufficiently for the screen to move but not so its flopp...
