- got in the B (70 roadster) just now, to drive it to get my road test for the next 6 months. Made it to the stoplight at the end of my street, and when the light went green, I went to grab first, but

- Don't know about a 1970 but the 1979 is easy to get at, just remove the cover on the pedal box to gain access. Randy Widman '79 Red B the the the though back up what is

- I notice he doesn't mention inspecting the slave cylinder. I imagine it is neither full inside nor dry outside... Either that or the flex hose. I suppose it's possible he actually sheared the pedal p

- When I bought my MGB, the clutch was completely non-functional. Turned out the slave cylinder was shot: the seal had liquefied, the piston was pitted, and the bore was hopelessly corroded. The PO was
