Well, I can't say I wasn't warned.
Paul T told me the Victoria British power window kit would not fit an MGB.
I called their order line and asked if they were sure it would work and the
lady put me on hold for a few minutes, came back and assured me it would.
So I ordered it last week and it came in today, and sure enough, there is no
way it will work on an MGB. The installation instructions list a number of
cars it will fit, but no MGs.
The device works by attaching to the splined shaft from the window winder
that the old handle fits on. As we all know, this is not a splined shaft but
a
largish plastic octogan on the MGB.
I called them back today and was assured they had sold thousands of these
and never had one returned. Well, either there are thousands of suckers out
there, or thousands of people smart enough to make these work, or I'm stupid
and missed something.
They are issuing a call tag and UPS will pick them up next week for them.
In the meantime, I guess I should call my credit card company?
Regards,

74.5 MGBGT
73 MG Midget
As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands,
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop manual.
