You're giving me credit where none is due Geoff - I really should have posted this link last time. As you'll see, everything within the quote marks was lifted - lock, stock and barrel - from this one source, rather than researched bit-by-bit by me: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/200199/...

Thanks for your admirably diplomatic post Geoff. My first response faced with such an unimpeachable source was to laugh out loud and wonder how I could have been so misinformed on the point for such a very long time, and where I'd first heard it used that way. Then about half-way through the first B...

By the way, it's not very obvious, but the squabs are 'handed' - very slightly tapered at one front-corner to fit around the transmission tunnel and give maximum forward adjustment. As supplied, my seats had their backs and squabs crossed. It's worth knowing how easy it is to separate them in case y...

For years I just changed the rubber wiper blades every summer, endured a smeared near-opaque windscreen whenever it rained, and assumed the MGB wiper system wasn't up to the job. Then for reasons I can't remember I changed the complete wiper fittings. What a difference! Try one of the specialist sup...

That's an interesting development, and should give a neater and simpler job, and without the extra costs of the four extension leads. The cabling provided with the kit is heat-tolerant, but if you've any o/e non-heat-tolerant wiring in the h/l bowls, be careful to route it away from the heatsinks. G...

The o/e seat-mounting bolts had plain leads, which makes them far easier to get started, putting the seats in.

If your bolts are threaded to their tips they've been replaced, and you've got another likely slight layer of difficulty in what ought to be a really quick and easy job.

This makes the job significantly easier even in a Roadster with the roof down, but it's several times more so in the restricted working space of a GT: separate the seat backs and squabs, then fit the squabs, and reunite them. It adds a stage, feels like extra and unnecessary work, and you won't want...

If you want to mount your control i/cs on your radiator shroud as I've done, you'll need two of Duncan's extension leads each side - ie a total of four extension leads. The i/cs are out of the weather there, and readily available for diagnostics in the event of any kind of h/l failure - eg you can q...

I'll be interested to hear Duncan's answer! If they're happy running both beams together there'd be more heat generated than from either beam alone, but perhaps that's significantly less than from tungstens? Ive emailed the seller to see whether their LED bulbs are capable of running both at once. T...

The Classic Car LED headlights are wired in exactly the same way as the original headlights, using the original switched connections, So unless there's been rewiring, either high-beams OR low beams are working at any one time, not both together. Allan With that LED headlamp conversion, do the low be...
