Thanks for that. Actually I think I may have answered my own question! I am now running on number 6 needles, which is what is recommended for lightly tuned engines - eg just with K&N filters. Looking at the profile which I got from following the "Tegleriser" link in an earlier response, they are ver...

Hi Peter, Thank you for your quick and very knowledgeable reply. Unfortunately I made a mistake in my original post (now corrected). I have just removed the needle and the number stamped on them is S6, not L. I had mis-remembered, the tuner had tried L needle first, then put in the S6 ones and then,...

Hello again everybody. Could anyone advise on which would be a suitable needle profile for a mildly up-rated 18GB engine? I had this engine re-built last year, over-bored +0.060", which gives capacity of 1865 cc I think. New standard cam fitted, standard pistons, but both head and block lightly skim...

Thanks to everyone for your helpful replies. Moss have refunded my purchase price plus a small compensation. In the meantime I have re-fitted my original float needles and so far there has been no leakage. I will keep a careful watch on them and see how things go. If they leak again perhaps I'll try...

Has anyone else experienced problems with float needle valves? I have just fitted a pair of new needle valves from Moss. They are of the 'soft tip' type, rather than the existing metal tip type and I have replaced both needle and seat. Both carbs have refused to seal. Initially it was just the back ...

Hi Pete and thanks for your very informative reply. I've owned my 1965 roadster since 1985 and never thought much about fitting a servo. However, in the last few years, a couple of things have changed my mind. Firstly, I also have a Lotus Elan +2S. This had no servo when I got it 12 years ago, but w...

I am installing a remote Lockheed type (copy) servo in my 1965 B. I have mounted it just in front of the scuttle on the near side, which I believe is the original position used by the factory for cars supplied with a servo - MGB Hive supply a kit including a purpose made bracket to fit this location...

I recently replaced the rusty headlamp bowls on my chrome bumper MGB GT V8 with plastic ones. Unfortunately I have not been able to re-fit the chrome headlamp rims since. There seems no provision to fit the clip used on original metal headlamp bowls. Does anyone have any solutions to this problem pl...
