Hi. This Is My First Time Posting To The List. I've Only Been Into British Cars 
For About A Year And A Half Now... Ever Since My Dad Bought His Mgb. Anyway
I've Gotten Hold Of A '77 Midget That Is _almost_ Ready To Be A Driver. Needed
Some Wiring Work. Now That Thats Almost Done, I Have A Couple Questions Maybe
Someone Could Help Me With.

1. Is There Anyway To Replace The Water Temp. Gauge Cable Without Replacing The 
   Entire Gauge ($$$) ? The Cable Experienced Technical Difficulties.
2. What Is The Best Way To Go About Replacing The Exhaust (Stock, At Least
   Muffler And Tail Pipe, Maybe More)... Diy Or Take It Somewhere?
3. Has Anyone Ever Re-carpeted With A Carpet Remnant And Used Regular, Non 
   Tailored Seat Covers And Can Maybe Offer Some Advice? The Cash Flow Isn't
   There, So I Can't Afford The Real Stuff (The Tuition Monster).
4. This Isn`t A Question, But Someone May Find It Amusing. I Called Moss To 
   Order A New Lighting And Hazard Switch, And Had My First 
"they-want-how-much-   for-that" Experience. Needless To Say I Spent Last Night 
Coercing The Covers    Off The Switches.
5. Bought A Battery At Kmart Last Night. Of Course Mg Wasn`t In Their Book. I 
   Got The Same Battery We Use In The 74 B, Except A Source Recommended I Get 
   The One With 580 Amps (Instead Of 525)...that This Was Better. Can Anyone 
   Confirm This...this Source Has Been Mistaken Before [See #1 :-) ]
6. Anybody Have Any Recommendations For Speaker Mounting Locations? 

I Know This Is Silly Stuff, But Any Help Would Welcomed. Have A Good Weekend!
Thanks,
Keith Collins :-) 
'77 Midget   
ps...silly stuff happened to the capitalization when I pasted this into the 
      mailer. The magiacal mystery computer strikes agian.
