61. Re: '70 MGB Need new tires - but what size (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <mvheim@attbi.com>; Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 09:21:12 -0700; 175SR14, certainly. Or 185/70-14. 185SR14 would be very large in diameter, affecting the speedo reading, and possibly having clearance issues. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Mountain V; /html/mgs/2003-06/msg00798.html (7,665 bytes)

Re: Replacement Panel Primer (score: 1): Author: Max Heim <mvheim@attbi.com>; Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2003 13:19:53 -0700; Sounds great, but it may only be practical when you're starting with a naked shell. If you're starting with a complete car, that's an incredible amount of work to get to that stage. -- Max Heim '66 M; /html/mgs/2003-06/msg00814.html (7,629 bytes)

It may not be "correct" for 63, but it's hard to conceive of any physical reason it wouldn't work.

But there scarcely seems enough difference from the MGF to merit a change in designation, at all. MGF Mark II would have been about right.

I used to have one that does, I think it might be Thorsen brand. I would take a careful measurement before going socket sho; /html/mgs/2003-05/msg00136.html (8,572 bytes)

A five-thousand-dollar MG in the US is probably a five-thousand-pound MG in the UK (if not more). I don't think your friend realizes it'; /html/mgs/2003-05/msg00155.html (7,814 bytes)
