Looks like the inner tube thread has played out. Not one person suggested
keeping the old tubes except for emergencies. I carry one for the Healey,
and told my son to go get one for the C. The C was re shod without benefit
of your wisdom, and I hope the shop, which was recommended, knew to remove
all the stickers. It has been a couple of years, and some small trips, so I
think it may be OK. I do know they didn't tighten the knock-off as tight as
they should have been.
One other factor, which is only causing frustration. VB has solid center
lock wheels on sale. You won't find them in the Healey sale flier, but they
the are listed at about 1/3 off in the MG catalog under MGC wheels. I have
always wanted a set like that, but don't really need them. Still it is
tempting. As Hyman Kaplan said "If your eye falls on a bargain, pick it up!"
Thanks again.
Jack
