Good for you Chris!
Got my BGT on the road with "green" licence plates, which are typical garage
used plates for test driving etc. I still don't have official plates.
I had the tyres balanced and outlined - runs much smoother now - no seeking
character anymore!
Next week the official test!
Cheers,
Hans

Subject: Broken bolt removed!
Hi all
Many thanks to everyone who suggested ways for removing the broken bolt from
my MGB. I tried the whacking it with a hammer (which was fun) lubricating
with
WD40, drilling the top of the bolt and insterting an easy out, then heating
the whole lot with a blow torch!
End result. Bolt was removed at the very first attempt with absolutely no
force needed!
I found that my replacement bolt was too short and so had a bit of a rush to
the shops Sunday to try and find a replacement, without any luck. As a last
thought, I drove past a Kwik Fit and stopped and asked in there......and was
given, for free, TWO replacement bolts, one of which fitted perfectly and so
the car is now back running again!!! :)
Unfortunately, due to recent building work, about a ton of rubble prevented
me
being able to get the car out of my mates garage for a drive, but I am back
for a wedding in a couple of weeks and if the weather is good I'll be taking
the B.
Thanks to everyone who offered advice, very much appreciated, and all very
good advice too :)
regards
Chris
