Mark another source which is probably better is Dave Laughlin in Richmond he
might have a B front cover and also the oil seal. 510 234 6624.

Mark I don't have a MGB front cover but did fit one to my A during the
rebuild and the oil seal works great. I did however install the incorrect
(dished) oil thrower that disintegrated after less than 1000 miles and made
the most awful noise. I thought the engine was toast. If you need any help
go the MGA guru website which is full of informative stuff.
www.mgaguru.com. You could try Basil Adams in Petaluma. He's a prolific
contributor to the MG Experience website and has lots of spares. I don't
know his tel number but his email is basiladams@yahoo.com.

While I am waiting on the head rebuild I thought I would keep going!
I now have the fan and water pump off, and the front end of the
engine cleaned up. Now I have got this far how complicated is it to
fit the MBG front cover to seal my leaks... I believe I also need to
fit the appropriate oil thrower ring as well.
Does anyone have an MGB front cover that will do the job? If not,
any idea of other sources?
