I have a tool in my toolbox that separates tie-rod ends without harming the little boots. It's a C-shaped clampy thing with a screw that pushes the tapered bolt out of the steering arm. I have used t

I have one I picked from a display at a bearing retailer; oddly enough, it doesn't destroy the boots unless they are pretty well knackered already. It works well with Minis and MGs both. A tad distur

Bill, there's a very nice MG TC plastic model kit in 1/16 scale by Entex or Minicraft (same kit; different box). They sell on eBay regularly. I have two of them, unbuilt. I know this isn't an answer

Don't take this as the final answer, since the SMiths Speedo/Odos I've worked on were not from MGBs. However, I'm guessing they are similar to MGA and Mini, etc. The "clutch" is just a magnetic linka

Might try to short across the fuse(s); they can sometimes look perfect and still fail. They also often develop oxide on their contact surfaces, so I always turn them in the holder to freshen up the c

Might well be a Sports Coil. I had the one with the fins on my MGA and used it later in the racing Mini. It was the doggie's danglies. Still kick myself for letting it go with the Mini when I sold it

I used a similar trick on an 850 racing engine in a Mini-minor in the 60's. I was revving it over 7,000 rpm and it had a tendency to erode the head gaskets. I ran a thin copper wire circle around eac

Hate to tell you this, Jon, but chances are it's a power-train-out situation. What happens is that the clutch has been set up wrong in some way. It's not necessarily the fault of the mechanic. Someti

Seems to me that wear at the valve/seat area will allow the valve to ride higher in the head, decreasing the clearance, tightening the lash. I think the hardened seat and stellite valves will help pr
