The job is identical to the installation of a 4-synchro B box to the 3-synchro/3-main B engine. It is quite a doable job. Although since I haven't done it since 1979, I can't remember the details. Ho

Well, my longest owned MG, since 1976, is a MGA 1600 Mk2 which may or may not end up as a parts car - its hard to tell right now :-) On the other hand, I still own the second car I ever purchased: TR

Further to my last post, the Twin-Cam roadster is black and so is the dash under the red vinyl (OK - Ambla) covering. The 1500 coupe, however, is Old English White with white vinyl (Ambla) dash but i
