I replaced the interior door handle in my 66 B with a chrome handle
from a 66 Midget and it works fine. I thing the seat recline handle on
later Bs may work also but have not try that yet, it would certainly
give improved leverage with it's size. Of course this would eliminate
the break away feature of plastic handles. When mine snapped in my hand
it really hurt but no blood, that time.
I switched 66 B over to negative earth and have no problem with radio
"crackling". I always have to turn down the radio so it doesn't ruin
the sound of the engine. Especially when I hit that purrrfect speed,
right around 68 MPH and it hums to me. I'm missing top down driving
very much right now. Safety Fast, David Deutsch
