I flared the rear fenders on my B. I didn't flare them out, I flared them UP a little. I have pictures of the process in the "scanner queue" for my web site, but it's straightforward. I just used an

What happens when you try? Just a stuck cable? Can you sort of gauge whether the cable is stuck or the cable is free and the latch is stuck? I'd try to get some penetrating oil sprayed in at the latc

Well, today was the first "real" drive of my long-talked about MGB after much body work and a new paint job. New sills, floors, fenders, and assorted patches later, a nice coat of white, and I'm away

Those square metal boxes that go around the leaf springs, what is supposed to be holding them where they are? On my newly-finished B, most of them are free to rattle around and obviously doing nothin

That is what was stopping me. Any thoughts on removing that rattle? It's very annoying, and also stops me from tracking down other rattles. ;> -- Trevor Boicey, Ottawa, Canada. tboicey@brit.ca, http:

Not much at all. The tranny and differential probably have play, so you should be able to turn the driveshaft a little. However, if you can easily feel play in the driveshaft it's probably too much.

No. Sunoco stations sell 94 Octane, and a few other stations sell 93. That's the highest octane you will get, but I have had no trouble with it. -- Trevor Boicey, Ottawa, Canada. tboicey@brit.ca, htt

There are two, the other is the fuel line though. I think you know that one! Yes, but it's also the float bowl vent line. It has to be open, because as the levels change in the float bowls, air has t

Actually, this is somewhat wrong. I think you are confusing optical type "chopper" systems (like Crane/Allison) with Hall effect types, like Lucas/Pertronix. Optical sensors use a chopper disc, which
