Sorry to hear of your misfortunate accident.  Try to obtain some windshield 
sealer.  I would think it would do a decent job of sealing the hole, and not 
cause rusting, as a silicone sealant would.


If it makes you feel any better, the points in my '70 MGB are burning up every 
few thousand miles, my original radiator died in a horrific battle with my fan 
blade, and my brake light switch is erratic.  On top of that, the Piece Of Sh*t 
radiator I bought from Moss at the princely sum of $218 is such a piece of 
total sh*t that my old radiator cools better than it ever will.  D*mn stupid 
Taiwan*se piece of total sh*t engineering.  


Whew! much better now.

P.S. To all, my brother and I are working on a web page that will showcase the 
gorgeous Pageant Blue paintjob of our '78B.  Also, we'll have impressive 
comparisons between the K&N filter for the Rover V8 conversion and the itty 
bitty Weber carb air filter.  Also, we will have some pictures up on the site 
showcasing my new (well not really) 1976 Porsche 912E.  Finally, good brakes, 
and great handling.
