Hi Guys
The part Don is not telling you is that he did indeed fire it up at 3am then
again at 5am (just to check you understand) Then at 9am he phoned me holding
the phone toward the engine so I could hear it run! Way to go
Don!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This guy is an enthusiast like no other I have met.
Well done mate.
Now if knew what he used to stay awake so long. I could get so much more
done in a day.

Eric,
I just mounted the Sebring valance from Proper MG (www.propermg.com) to my
70 B. I had to adjust the fit just a bit since I am not running the matching
fenders. I cut about 1/4 of a inch off the sides to make it align to the
fenders, other then that not a problem at all. Total time fitting was about
1.5 hours. When I placed the car back down it does appear to be a bit longer
but that is not problem. I would guess maybe 3/4 of a inch.
Well tomorrow I will try it and see if it is too low. I just got the engine
finished after 9 months and I think 3am is a bit late to fire it up for the
first time. =-)

Subject: Front Spoiler
I am looking at fitting a spoiler to the front of my CBB, partly for
looks and partly for some small racing benefits (including possibly
fitting ducting to channel some air directly onto the brakes).
When I first raised this with my 'expert' advisors they suggested I just
keep asking around until one comes available from a wreck... well after
a year of asking and waiting I think I need to look at some more
innovative solutions.
Am I going to have to get one made up or is there anything 'off the
shelf' avaailable (and is it likely to be available in Australia)?
Is there maybe (in some unlikely scenario) anything available for
another vehicle which will fit or be easily modified (!?) to fit - hey,
I can grasp at straws if I like!?
>From what I have seen I could go the whole hog (not in Australia) and do
the whole Sebring look-alike fitout, but for now I just want a front
spoiler, thankyou :-)
Any thoughts?
