Unfortunately not. As much as I’d love to use it as a daily driver my main car is a company car. I’m a site engineer so have to drive around all over the place.

Ahh I hadn’t considered the auction route, that’s really interesting. Thanks.

Hello,

Long story short - I’m no longer able to use the area I’ve stored my MG over the years so sadly got to sell her. It’s been more an engineering project than a daily driver (I drive it most weekends though) and other than the re-bore I’ve done all the work myself, so I’ve no idea what it’s ...

Thanks. I’ll check the end float on the crank. Good to know I’m not alone though.

Perhaps I just need more bhp- some kind of supercharger perhaps

Ello,

More out of curiosity than anything as the engine runs fine otherwise - and was rebuilt fairly recently, but if I set the idle to less than 1k and put my foot on the clutch the revs drop to about 500rpm. If I happen to do it while the radiator fan and lights are on it pretty much stalls. Is ...

I fitted blue poly bushes a few years ago and kept the original fulcrum pins. I've not had any issues with them. I recently had them all apart too to fit new stub axles and couldn't see any unusual wear or damage to the fulcrum pins.

I believe it helps direct air flow through the radiator - rather than round the bottom of it. Certainly cant hurt to have one. Also, the chrome ones look good!

I have been looking into that as it happens. From what I've read you can get a complete pair of Koyo needle bearings and washers direct from suppliers for about £25, so I might give that a go if I get time.

Excellent, thanks Ian.

I'm sure I'll very quickly find some other bits to spend the money I've saved on.

Hi All,

Has anyone got any experience with recon stub axles? Mine need replacing and recon units seem a better deal at half the price of 'new' ones, but I have seen some negative feedback about quality online.

Thanks,
