Have you got the Minilite type wheels??? If so you the wrong track rod ends. You need track rod ends GSJ168A, rather than GSJ168. These are available from Brown & Gammons and I can't find other suppliers that list them or even admit to the problem! Unfortunately they are more expensive, but tey ...

The distributor drive slot and the drive dog on the distributor are offset, This is why when it was turned through 180 deg it suddenly slotted in. This is a copy of the diagram in the Workshop Manual MGB Distributor drive offset.jpg When setting it up the drive shaft in the engine should be inserted...

Hi Tom, Brittany could be a good choice at Easter - but similar weather to Cornwall and the Channel Islands. You don't see many cars using yellow headlights in France these days! I would also caution against using the modern stick on beam deflectors as the glue is incredibly difficult to get of afte...

Hi Tom, I took my MGB Roadster to France about 5 years ago, and super unleaded was widely available then, even in supermarkets. Petrol is labelled Sans Plomb (or SP) and (diesel is Gazole). Everything was E5 labelled Sans Plomb (or SP) 95, or Sans Plomb 98. I would assume these days they have Sans P...

The MGB only needs a fan when it is running in slow traffic and idling for long periods. On the open road it is fine and so long as the radiator is in good condition this also applies to very hot sunny weather. I would consider doing away with the sensor and and wiring the fan via a switch on the da...

I bought my entrance tickets from British Motor Museum website: https://www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/whats-on/mgb-60th-an...

I think you may have increased the value of the car, but decreased the market for it. You don't have to spend long looking through adverts to find heavily modified MGBs that are eligible for international racing or rallying with a price tag of £35,000-£40,000, but they are for sale for some time as ...

Hi Tom, It's good to see you are making progress and the car is looking a lot more business like these days. I have found a few sources of competition parts so I'll compile a list and post it up. One that caught my eye was a reverse gear lock-out to prevent you from selecting reverse when hurriedly ...

Hi Markus, I think your only option is to try Woolies who specialise in trim and rubber mouldings. See https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/. If you have a piece of the original as a pattern they have an extensive range of profiles on their website, but if not you could try emailing them with details of w...

Hi David, The LE wheels certainly have their own wheel nut - BHH2269, and at £9.70 each (Moss Catalogue although they are currently on special off at £8.24) are quite expensive to to replace! I only have the The picture in the Moss catalogue is the only one I have to go by and that doesn't show the ...
