In reference to the silly part names topic, I believe this is covered by the
second low of "The Laws for British Sports Cars". This law is as follows:
" Any book, manual, pamphlet, or text dealing with the maintenance, repair,
or restoration of a British Sports Car shall be written so that at least
every fourth word will be unknown to the average reader. In the event that
any portion of the text is understandable, the information contained therein
shall be incorrect".
" Most people are familiar with this law. Here is an excerpt from page 132
of the MGA shop manual. ' Before rebushing the lower grunnion banjos, you
must first remove the bonnet fascia and undo the A-arm nut with a #3
spanner'. All attempts to publish a English language version of this manual
have failed".
