        Hello all, 
        My father in law just purchased a 75 MGB which needs the usual 
cosmetic attention.  However in helping to get it started yesterday I 
noticed a couple of things.
        First, it needs a new ignition switch.  Anyone have a spare out 
there?  How about advice on removing the old one?
        Second, While fiddling with the wires underneath the car I 
noticed that the DPO hacked through the center support under the 
transmission in order to remove it at some point.  Is there a replacement 
piece for this or do I just need to weld in metal and form the brace?  
Note that its not the transmission mount, rather a body part.
        Finally, I think this year MGB is pretty interesting, rubber 
bumpers, old style dash and guages, sort of a mix between the old and the 
new.  Any advice on items specifically for this year?  If only the DPO 
had not been the owner of wire cutters and a hacksaw this would have been 
very straight forward to return  to the road.
