Hmmm.  The technology wasn't huge, but the tapes were, and 1/8th of an inch 
clearance (as has been reported) seems pretty tight.

Still... an 8-track in an MGB seems kind of sacreligious.  It's not like 
it's a pickup truck with empty Budweiser beer cans in the bed and a bumper 
sticker that says "Gun control means using both hands" on the tail! :)
