I thought about this same idea, but it is not so easy a task. To do a =
proper job, the "A" pillars need to be moved forward. Otherwise you =
can't lean the windshield back very much because it starts to get very =
close to the steering wheel. An added problem on the MGC-GT that I have =
is that the steering wheel is 1 inch larger in diameter than the =
steering wheel on the MGB. The steering wheel is larger because there =
is no power steering. So if we are really going to modernize the B, =
lets go to a smaller steering wheel and add electric power steering, but =
that of course has only been available very recently. Sometimes =
technology just doesn't move fast enough but it's still fun to dream.

Hi Brownie,

Seems I remember reading back then it had to do with sq. ins. per cent =
of wiindshield coverage of the wipers to windshield surface or some fool =
thing like that. From Road & Track of the time.

OK, I am not sure that I need another colector car but I bought a 1976 =
MGB yesterday. It is a fixer-upper but then as such the price is always =
better. Big question for you all? Why does it have three windshield =
wipers?

Annual Scottish Days/Highland Games at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. This =

We have been directed to enter at the South West gate and park on the =

new event, you really can't go wrong, there are plenty of volunteers =

We seem to be finally getting to some better weather! Temperatures =
are supposed to be in the mid 70's and partly cloudy, but no rain in the =
forecast. Should be a great day to be out with our LBC's. Let's make =
it a great turnout.
