Interesting example. I remember seeing a show on which they built what was supposed to be Leonardo da Vinci's glider. They built it, and had a test flight -- they got lift, but no control. So they we

I agree that the wing-warping idea was more sympathetic to the "sketch" than movable control surfaces would have been; and that in that light the show was respectful of the original design. And I wou

3. ID a car? (score: 1)

So my sister e-mailed me, trying to figure out what a car was that she'd seen. She told me that it was cute, and that the logo on the car was the letter T, with an arrow pointing down from the vertic

I've had Greenstuff pads on my 'B for over a year, and I love them. Great stopping, I haven't managed to fade them, and almost no dust. The fronts are only marginally dirtier than the rears; 2 months

I have 4 good, new chrome wire wheels, on new hubs. These two old wheels are, of course, rusty; one has a broken spoke, one has a hub that's in bad shape. I want to unlace them, clean them up, and pu

I have a 1970 MGB. The rear axle seems to be slightly offset toward the drivers' side of the car -- there is roughly a half-inch of clearance between the tire and outer fender on that side, and rough

For the second time in as many weeks, the list talks me out of a project. Unlike the aborted attempt to rebuild a wire wheel, though, I don't feel bad for abandoning the plan to roll the fender lip -

The originator of this thread was at least aware enough to put the "Off Topic" disclaimer in the subject line. However, the next logical step -- that since it was not relevant to the subject of this

My 2 cents: If you're taking the front end apart, do a full rebuild. Kingpins, swivel bushings (pressed in and reamed by a machine shop), the whole 9 yards. Moss and others have a major suspension ki

My guess: the steel line, running from the splitter block to the wheel cylinder, has been crushed shut. Has the car ever been put on a flatbed hauler? Follow it back from the wheel cyl, around the fr

I'm looking at replacing a few damaged bits on the dash. Moss part #142-260 lists for $49.95. It's a turn signal lens. Other years' turn signal lenses 142-265 list for $5.85. Now, I realize that they

To me, this is even sillier than CBB vs. RBB. At least in that case there's a real measurable difference -- hp, handling, weight (which are the essence of a sports car, yes?). But in this case it jus

I don't know the specifics of this case. But a 2+2 without its v-12 might have been transformed into a GTO or Testa Rossa or California Spyder (etc.) replica. That is, buy the cheapest possible v-12

My 1970 'B has recently been taken apart and put back together. You might call it "restored", but that's a matter of opinion... Anyway, there are a couple of problems that the car didn't have before.
