Idlewild, While not a workshop manual, I'd recommend "MGB & MGB GT: Your Expert Guide to Problems & How to Fix Them" by Roger Williams. It's well illustrated and written, containing lots of know-how. If you're new to old cars, an early 2nd hand edition of the AA's "Car Care: How it works; how to loo...

I've done some sill repairs but not complete replacement. Like Ian, I used puddle welds with a MIG to replicate spot welds. But the flanges at the top and bottom of the sill structure were spot welded at the Factory, and p. 72/73 of Lindsay Porter's 'Restoration Manual' says a handheld spot welder i...

I suppose you could check the seal is all the way on? When I changed mine I had to tap it down all round the door frame with a mallet

The window slides up and down two channels, one at the front of the door (forming the back of the quarter light) and one at the rear (which only extends up as far as the door top).

The 3 unmasked positions on the slider are gently centre-punched to compensate for the thickness of the tape. Finally, I took a pic of the switch in the 1973 brochure, photoshopped it a bit and p...

Having looked and failed to find a 3 position, 2 circuits rocker switch in the original style, I needed to make my own. I started with an old light switch. It has 3 positions but is cumulative in operation. In other words position 2 is side-lights and position 3 is side-lights plus headlights. This ...

Whilst we are mostly confined to our garages again, I thought I'd share my lockdown project. I've had a fog light and a spot light fitted for some time, but the original style rocker switches seem practically impossible to find. None of the usual suspects, like Moss, make a reproduction and I have n...

Welcome Steve.

Out of curiosity, what's actually involved in a 'fast road' set up? Are you able to share any pictures of the car?

Happy new year. It's snowy on the moors again...
