Guys,
If you elect to retrofit the parking brake warning light to an earlier MGB,
make sure you also use the attached in-line diode in the circuit (check the
wiring diagram for a late B). If you don't, you will get some weird
effects, like not being able to shut off the engine with the parking brake
engaged. The diode prevents an unwanted ground loop forming through the
indicator bulb when the parking brake is applied.
Cheers,
Paul Kile

Subject: Poly Suspension Pads?
Jim,
My plan was to use the wiring from a 73 B. I'll probably just get a new
harness, as mine has seen too many DPO's as well as a having a few burnt
wires. I would like to build something that would be reliable enough to
drive up to the V8 convention in the fall, and I wouldn't be comfortable
doing that with the current wiring.
I didn't realize your note about the parking brake switch. I think I'll
retain that and wire it into the seat belt warning light.
Do you know where to obtain the poly suspension pads? Moss appears to sell
the upgraded A-arm bushings etc. but only see the stock crossmember pads.
Thanks,
Glenn
