[Mgs] FW: MGA Guru on the Gulf Coast

[Barrie Robinson]

My MGB GT V8 has those pneumatic(?) support things for bonnet.  I got 
them from a team.net bloke I think but you can get them quite 
easily.  I also have them on the tailgate - absolutely brilliant and 
I recommend them.  Easy to install and do not interfer
