My MGB GT V8 has those pneumatic(?) support things for bonnet. I got
them from a team.net bloke I think but you can get them quite
easily. I also have them on the tailgate - absolutely brilliant and
I recommend them. Easy to install and do not interfer

Also my health was not optimal this year, so after seeking the reason

Barney, you made me looking to your site where your travel experiences
were<br>
listed and I saw some pictures of MGB's where the engine hood was wide
open.<br>

I still use the original hood stand, which offers very little space to
work.<br>
So my question is, is the hood stand modification documented
somewhere?<br><br>
Thanks in advance.<br><br>

It has been a long time since I posted anything here, so let me see if I
can<br>
wake anyone up. We are currently in eastern Texas, and may be in
southern<br>
Louisiana in a few days, heading in the general direction of
Florida. It<br>
was late February last time we were cruising through this area.
Looks to be<br>
very quiet on the car club scene these days, so we have more time
available.<br>
Wondering if anyone needs any help with an ailing MG? We tend to
fix things<br>
as we pass. Otherwise we just like to visit interesting
cars.<br><br>
