I upgraded my brakes, not because they were poor, they are not, they are perfectly OK, but I was finding that other drivers on the road had their brakes on all the way down hills causing me to use mine more then normal, so the 'upgrade ' was just to keep up with 21st century traffic. I looked for so...

All a bit off topic but this is how discussions go....in saying that, I did make a new pipe from stainless steel, it has the same O/D but a thinner wall and looks better too.( the internal of the origlnal pipe was quite corroded, full of crud reducing the I/D and made of poor material) I didn't form...

Hi all, My understanding is that the 'kink' in the pipe is nothing to do with clearance or access, it is 'usual' to put 'kinks' in pipes that are subject to expansion and contraction with heat, it allows linear movement without putting stress on the fastening points, you will often see similar 'kink...

Hi, "Megasquirt" is a mere calculator! I'm using a special ECU specifically designed for the B Series engine, it has seperate 3D maps for cylinder 1&4 and 2&3, due to the simeased inlets , seperate timing/maps for crank, idle and retarding during braking as well as shutting off the...

I too, thought the mesh was too fine, I got some grill from B&Q, very cheap, cut it to size, and when I refitted it used some white (to match the car colour) Sikaflex, it has been like this for over 10years..

Hi Ian, Good question, the one on the car at the moment is in very good condition but it is also fitted with a bracket that holds a 'crankshaft position sensor', it all works fine, but the OEM cover was never intended to be structural. I've got a second one , but it was only ever a spare, it's clean...

I've had a reply back from BMH, they do not have a drawing for this part. I've drawn what I can, it's accurate but in metric not imperial, but I've no idea what/where the datum is, guess it doesn't matter too much, it's just a bit messy. First job is to 3d print a space model, then get it CNC'd.

Thanks for the replies, it helps with my decisions. I've had a good look at what the big MG suppliers have to offer and the options don't look great and are very expensive. My existing radiator is fine, it's in good condition and I have no overheating issues, it is just a logistical issue, if I was ...

For a normal 1800 MGB the standard copper/brass radiator should be more than adequate, especially in Britain. Why pay more for an aluminium one? One aluminium rad I bought for a V8 suffered with leaks from quite early on because of the way the tubes were punched into the tanks. Vibration shook them...

Does anyone have any experience of using an aluminium radiator, I've taken the present one off to get at the timing chain cover to measure it and fit a new pulley, as usual, looks to be a few different models/suppliers out there so any advice will be helpful, thanks..
