Thanks Mike, that’s really helpful; I now know I need a new vacuum pipe. Mine is a December 70 build - the set up looks like yours.

Hi all, I'm hoping some one can help. My B isn't starting and I think I've tracked the issue down to a broken cable on my electronic ignition. It attaches to the protuberance shown on the photo but is loose at the other end. I have two questions: a) Where should it connect to and b) what is it calle...

This is my third roadster – my previous 1969 and 1972 MGBs had a bare alumini...

The black screws and cups for internal trim panels from the usual sources seem very expensive - £15 in some instances.

Has anyone found a cheaper supplier?
