I have been doing something that I normally assiduously avoid - perusing parts I avoid it, because I find it either boring or tempting. I've been doing it because I have resurrected an MGC from hiber

As I was waxing poetic about my exciting search for an MGC GT in a previous email, this one arrived in my inbox like the clammy hand of death. It's something I've neglected to ask (almost certainly

As long as you aren't looking for major castings and what-not, there really isn't a big problem. Half the time you have to educate the partsmen - a lot of the brake system, for instance, is interchan

Dear Bill: Look on the bright side, at least there are parts catalogs to peruse still. Thank the people who do buy parts on a regular basis that you can find anything at all without having to dig aro

Echoing Bill's comments. I don't think I would have an MGC as my only car because there are some items which may take some time to find or modify. Moss Motors has not done a parts catalog simply bec

All you need for the suspension is a heavier front sway bar and decent shocks. If the regular guys don't offer them, Addco still supplies the bar - Part no. 845. I use Konis on the front, but Spax or

Seems like a heavier front bar would tend to increase the understeer, unless the car is heeling over so far in stock form that it's screwing up the contact patch. Is this really the hot ticket? == P

Paul, your statement is in line with accepted gospel for nose heavy understeering cars. BUT - the MGC is a bit of a special case - the front wheel tends to fold under in really hard cornering, losing

The MGC isn't the only example of poor choices in suspension, made by BLMC. Look at an original TR-4A through TR-6 some time - the soft rear spring rates chosen to coddle delicate passengers means th
