You can adjust the distance in question by using a puller to increase it or a press to decrease it. I had to do this with the new pump I got, to make the 3 pulleys line up for the fan belt. You have a few mm each way to play with, but not cm! I too have searched against the part number you quoted an...

Ian - I fitted new ones from MGBHive to my roadster. One word of caution though with new ones - the rubber dust seal seems to be too strong and they retract the piston back into the caliper, resulting in no brakes when you first push on the pedal! The do improve with miles (about 2000+) and you do g...

You really need access to an English Wheel to get the double curvature right, and the raised part in the centre that lines up with the MG badge on the grille will still be a problem. Now the show season looks like it will go ahead this year, find a bonnet that is in good condition and use that. Alum...

Remy - Since the introduction of GPRS, the DVLA won't provide the information about previous owners.

Peter, see Clausager - top of page 146 - "1971 model year Changes to all cars. horn push returned to steering wheel centre" Ian F Hi Ian, Thanks for pointing that out. I assumed that the Sept 1969 (1970 model year) was the point of the change and I didn't read any further on. Cheers Pete

...and my 1969 Roadster has the earlier steering column and the horn button on the stalk! This might show that the stalk can be easily swapped for a later one.
I have looked up the parts in the Moss catalogue and they give the change point for the stalk as Clausager

Hi Remy, I thought by 1970 the horn was operated by pushing the end of the indicator stalk. This seems to be confirmed by Clausager that from September 1969 a new column stalk was introduced that operated the indicators, headlight main beam and flash and the horn. The change was from car number 1871...

As you need to remove the hub to remove the disc you will need to reset the end float when the hub is refitted. If it is just to clean the discs up you might be able to do what is necessary without removing them completely.

Generally I would say don't put any friction reducing additive in a gearbox, whether it has overdrive or not, The synchro cones rely on an amount of friction to work and in an overdrive there is a cone clutch with a friction material lining so need friction to work. In the early 1990s I used a Toyot...

Hi Bri, Welcome to MGB Ownership and I hope you will use this forum as often as you need. There is a wealth of knowledge behind this unassuming facade! I note your engine was totally reconditioned in 1995 so I would suggest (unless you have evidence to show it's been done) you put getting the cylind...
