Rubbish! Unless the car has so many leaks that you get drenched inside, or such bald tires that it slides all over the place, a BGT is a delightful car in the rain. As to engine out and disassembled,

My goodness, it's only been about 45 years that disc brakes have been standard on millions - perhaps billions by now - of production cars, many of which have to drive in rainy conditions all over the

Good luck finding a good, used one. These have been much sought after for the last 20 years or so! If you decide to buy a new one, I can let you have a good deal on one of Moss's forged 4340 chrome-

In the interests of accuracy, let's get the facts straight and not malign Moss Motors unnecessarily. Northwest Imports this morning quoted me $189 for an Amco top for an MGB. Moss does not list Amco

One quick and easy way to reduce hydrocarbon emissions is to (temporarily, just while the car is in for its test!) increase the valve clearance to 25 thousandths. The engine becomes noisier but the e

Not being psychic, I can only assume you are talking about an MGB? If so, we can sell you an exchange set of re-bushed rockers reamed to fit (and supplied with) a new shaft for $100 plus shipping. L
