It looks a good car Geoff, assuming the underneath is solid and sound. What goes against it somewhat is the colour. Bolder colours seem more popular. I reckon it's worth more than you are asking even now, but if you've not had much interest, maybe I'm wrong. I wouldn't use Autotrader myself. I have ...

I rebuilt a roadster about 18 months ago. By the time I had finished with welding the new panels, there was a lot of prep work needed to get it ready for painting. As I have no skills in prep or painting I entrusted it to a local bodyshop. They must have spent many hours on it and when I collected i...

Mine is (was, as it is now sold) a 1971 car so should be the same as yours.

Electronic switching only needs two cables, the red and black ones in your picture, red to a power source like the + on the coil, and the black to the negative on the coil. The thing you have circled is the port for the vacuum pipe from the inlet manifold or carbs. The suction applied to the vacuum ...

90 miles between max and min! Are you followed by a blue cloud? If you are burning that much oil, is it coming out of the exhaust pipe as blueish smoke? Get someone to follow you and watch your tail pipe. It could be piston rings or through the valve guides. Are valve seals fitted, at least on the i...

Very common MGB problem. I had a set of Mintex pads which were terrible. I now have GreenStuff pads and all is quiet. I tried the 3M brake anti-squeal shims - they worked at first but the noise came back after a short while. I'm afraid your drilled and grooved discs won't be helping. They really are...

For Ben, I used this relay box but left the lid off as it was a very tight fit and seemed unnecessary. They also sell a 7 relay box should you need it. https://www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk/c-219-relays-flasher-units/p-652-4-way-relay-box Ian, like you I have no idea why there is a kink in that pi...

On the 1971 car I rebuilt and sold I went the way of the modern blade fuse box. It fitted in nicely, although I had to bridge some of the terminals to replicate how the original was set up. I hate glass fuses and the old fuse box which seems to give bother with poor connections as they get older. Yo...

I have never used mine.

Ian is right, not only is the RB crossmember different, but the mountings at the front of the rear springs is altered as well. I'm not sure just fitting RB springs will achieve what you want.
