As a neo-Healey, that isn't bad, really. I dont know about the whitewalls, though. But I would guess it's aimed at about a $50K US price point (at least). -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're nea

Hmm, all I can say is, get skinnier hands (you have any kids?). In a Mark I you can remove the tunnel top cover, which makes it a cinch. I suppose you could unbolt the transmission support and lower

No, this has come up before. It's just a quirk of the B. In essence, one rear wheel well has more clearance than the other. This isn't surprising due to the many assymetrical features of the undercar

Well, the simplest solution is to stick with a size of tire that actually fits without rubbing. Since you are staying with the standard, narrow, 14-in. wire wheels, you obviously aren't concerned wit

Well, you could always buy a switch, check the thread, and tap out the manifold hole if it didn't match, or use an adapter. I sympathize with your general complaint -- I think companies should put di

It is easier to replace the brake MC at the same time as the clutch MC. If it looks just as old, you might as well do both. It is pretty typical for the hydraulics to perish at around the same time.
