Sounds like you have had your issues to deal with, but you have overcome the difficulties. Thanks for posting the radiator mounts, that does help. You may want to isolate the bolts that go in the radiator sides to help prevent the aluminum corroding. Also that is the location for the fan shroud mounting. No reason it can’t serve as both. Thanks…[Read more]

Thanks for the offer, I already have a71 MGB to work from. I have friends that might be interested . I am in central NC, where is the car?Jim

Blog update. Clutch and throttle cables done (and radiator brackets) No pipes yet.

Looks terrific. Hope I get to see it in VA Beach!

Fuel cell

Yea — all dressed up and can’t get to the party..

Sorry to miss you, Jack. You mentioned VA Beach? Cool!

Tow it around town for a couple of miles and watch it follow you. Some rather large forces would make towing with locked steering dangerous.

Have you got a B to work with yet?  I just came across one last week for $1000.00.  Rebuilt motor runs and could be a daily driver.  Lots body rust in the rockers and, well everywhere.  It’s not advertised yet but I have the guys phone #, 

Roy, I thought I was suppose lock it and tie it secure.   It’s been a while since I towed something.   Which is best?Jack, sorry you can’t make it, family first though. 

I emailed Bruce and told him the I’d see if anyone on our site was interested in the hotel room first and if not, then post it on the Speedsterowner’s site tomorrow

Just used some 2″ x 3″ box tubing to build frame. Just looked at how original was built. You will have to extend a MG Midget 14″ to work on the TD body. mGB will have to extend 9″ to work. I have a TR6 in the shop now, so it will be a while on the nextTD!
