Had to make a panic stop in the B the other day. Coming over the crest of a hill, a car was standing still waiting to make a left hand turn. The car in front of me had to stop fast, which meant I had

This inadvertent forward motor movement is why they added the "stay rod" anchored to the tranny crossmember. I'm not sure which years it came on -- my hybrid has the crossmember for it but none of th

Glad to here your brakes work well and no one was hurt. Dumb question: Can you solder the leaks while there is coolant in the radiator, or do you have to drain it? Monte a in up my hit not bottom Th

On the '71 the motor was reigned in by a set of L brackets on the motor mounts. They should be bolted to the engine side of the rubber and about 1/2 inch clear of the back side of the rubber. In a si

Next time pump the brakes, like ABS. It allows you to steer and if you do it right you can stop even faster, skidding tyres are floating along on a layer of molten rubber. /// or try http://www.team.

You'd need to drain it. First, you'd want it out of the car, so you can get at the holes better. And, more importantly, the coolant would get in the way and hinder your work. It would dissipate the h

- - - - - - - - - - I doubt it. The coolant will steal the heat from the torch. It should be drained first. Same thing when sweating pipes under a sink. It just doesn't work until all the water boils

Depends where the leak is. The coolant only needs to be below the leak for you to be able to solder it. But if it is a seam that is leaking past experience has shown that unless you do a proper job b

Hi Bob, Yep, that can happen. Nope, it shouldn't happen, but the design of the engine restraint used for a couple of years does permit the engine to move forward a lot on a sudden stop, especially if

The radiator repair shop owner, owner of a few MGBs himself, suggested Bob, Where can I find a 4-row radiator core? Are they the same for all models of MGB? Does "core" mean that it's installed insid

Ask your nearby radiator shop if they are familiar with this job. My guy said that the core (the fin part between top tank and bottom tank) had a fourth row of the vertical tubes, hence a four-row c
