I rebuilt my boosters on my 'c-gt last year. I am an well seasoned
mechanic and I found parts of the "job" challenging. I got my kits from a
member of the MG club that I belong to. He brought them back from the UK,
so I got a "good price". However I believe that British Victoria has the
kits and maybe even the entire booster for sale. Other than that you have
too just keep looking. BTW IF you have a spare aluminum bonnet and you
are in the Los Angles area PLEASE fell free to drop by as I will gladly
relive you of the burden of storing that troublesome old bonnet. As my car
has a bent torn and unpainted bonnet. And as EVERY ONE wants to see a
good looking car and my car is an EYE SORE I know that some one will do
the RIGHT THING and GIVE me a FREE bonnet. byw Johnny Cochran helped with
this pathetic plea for undeserved gratuity.
