Fellow fiends:
As Homer Simpson would say, "Yahoo!" I finally got the '63 B back from
the body shop, and it looks *gooood*. Now, all I have to do is spend the
next*several*weeks*writting*grants and I can start on the real re-assembly.
Wait a minute... ...damn.
Anyway, for anyone who can help, here is my current parts wish list:
(remember: this is for a '63B, so later similar parts won't work in some
cases)
-heater and demister controls +/- knobs
-tonneau bar
-wiper motor (working only, please)
-various dash electrics (switches, map light, etc.)
-steering wheel (I am looking for a nice clean one, got an ugly dirty one)
-jack (typical kind for the B, slips into the slots underneath the doors)
-license plate mounting hardware (strangely missing from my car)
Penultimate curiosity: Did the MGB come with a tool kit? I know at least
some earlier LBCs did, including my 67 E-type. I am curious to know if the
early B did. I haven't found a clue to it in any literature I have seen, so
I guess that means no, but does anyone have a comment? Suggestions for
places to learn more and/or obtain such a kit?
Final curiosity: Does anyone out there in net.land have early B disk
wheels they might sell? *Not* rostyles, but similar to the MGA disks?
Cheers,
