TECHNICAL DAY SATURDAY 19th NOVEMBER 2016

Post by Graham Dix »

Dear All,

I have been working with the staff of British Motor Heritage at Witney to lay on an event for this year. It is not yet advertised elsewhere and as there are limited numbers I would like to offer you the opportunity to reserve a place.

The agenda for the day will be:

0900 – Arrival and coffee in board room

0930 – Welcome and introductions

10.00 – Workshops:

Restoration – Richard Chapman of Manor Garage MG Specialists (45mins) - This will be centred on an MGB GT body shell pre-restoration. Richard will go through how he would restore the shell and demonstrate how the various panels form the structure of the car. You will be able to identify all the areas of rust on an MGB and how they can be restored.

Welding – Graham Dix (45mins) - This will involve a demo of the most common welding technique for body restoration and an opportunity for you to practice your welding technique.

Panel work – BMH Staff (45mins) – This will involve a demonstration of how a body panel is prepared in respect of panel beating and finishing after pressing.

12.30 – Lunch
1.30 – Lecture in board room. This will be a talk on MX5 Gearboxs for MGBs or Mintex Brakes (to be confirmed)
2.30 – Closure

PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR APPLICATION FORM - [email protected]

All the very best

Graham Dix
