If memory serves you were describing on an HS4, how to chase the spring for the
jet actuating lever around and catch the end on the tang.  I believe it was the
tang you referred to as a 'nubbins'. It will always be 'nubbins' to me :)  It's
terminology like this that gives the MG it's character...

BTW:  I've done three rebuilds (two for me and one for a friend) and I watched
the video each time as a refresher. I made the spring chasing tool that you
describe, helped immensely. Thanks for putting the video together, 13 years ago
or not, It definitely stands the test of time.
