The answer to your question lies in Paul's response. The third wiper was st=
andard on all North American market cars beginning with the 1969 model year=
 for the MGB. It was to comply with US Federal regs. regarding the percenta=
ge of glass on the windshield that had to be cleared by the wipers.
Yeah=2C I know....it is stupid and the Brits seemed to get along fine witho=
ut it throughout the remainder of MGB production. A fine example of governm=
ent bureaucracy trying to save us from ourselves.

Take care=2C

I thought about this same idea=2C but it is not so easy a task.  To do a pr=
oper job=2C the "A" pillars need to be moved forward.  Otherwise you can't =
lean the windshield back very much because it starts to get very close to t=
he steering wheel.  An added problem on the MGC-GT that I have is that the =
steering wheel is 1 inch larger in diameter than the steering wheel on the =
MGB.  The steering wheel is larger because there is no power steering.  So =
if we are really going to modernize the B=2C lets go to a smaller steering =
wheel and add electric power steering=2C but that of course has only been a=
vailable very recently.  Sometimes technology just doesn't move fast enough=
 but it's still fun to dream.

Had they designed the car with a proper laid back windshield it could have =

Hi Brownie=2C

OK=2C I am not sure that I need another colector car but I bought a 1976 MG=

June 11th=2C this Saturday=2C from 8 A.M. to 10 P.M. will be the 37th Annua=
l Scottish Days/Highland Games at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi.  This is a BM=
CU sponsored event but there is no contact person because it is just a "sho=
w up and park your car" kind of day. =20

=20

We have been directed to enter at the South West gate and park on the grass=
 near there.  For those of you who have gone to this event before=2C it is =
the same as in past years.  For those of you for whom this is a new event=
=2C you really can't go wrong=2C there are plenty of volunteers around to d=
irect you. =20

=20

We seem to be finally getting to some better weather!  Temperatures are sup=
posed to be in the mid 70's and partly cloudy=2C but no rain in the forecas=
t.  Should be a great day to be out with our LBC's.  Let's make it a great =
turnout.
