price should be? If the car is as "perfect" as the seller says there shouldn't be a need to put any $$$'s into R&Rs. I've never bought an MG that I didn't need to put at least a few $Ks into it. No idea what to look for in a car that is 25 years new. No idea what to offer for this car. Any suggestions will be considered and appreciated. Jim C 73 Midget 66 MGB "klutterbutt92530" 23647... MORE

Well, Don Ma, you already have the answer to this but even if you already knew, I can empathize... it IS a little difficult to think straight with "Mr. Thirsty" making all that noise in their reverberating throughout your skull, eh?

EEEESH...that would deffinately do a number on the wrists.....working as a paramedic for an ambulance company for 15 years carrying LARGE BODIES (live or otherwise) downstairs takes its toll as well.

Don, Re the crack, there are many al. alloys which are not weldable, but I have no idea about this one. In any case, a typical good welding-repair practice for large and relatively fragile castings such as this is to pre-heat the whole bare casting (in an oven) and keep covered with thermal blankets as much as possible during the weld time to minimise distortion. Without this, even if the bell housing IS weldable, one of the dangers is that you might just cause the crack to propagate further by attempting to weld in situ and thus cause more... MORE

Thanks for the tips David. Now that I think about it I think I am to fault for the problem. I towed it home with the rear wheels on the dolly and the steering locked in center position. The California freeways, that in sections are fast approaching third word conditions, could have been too much jarring on the steering lock. 880 between Hayward and Berkeley is some of the worst freeway surface I have driven on in the states.

Bill, I happened to come across this on the Moss web site last week. http://www.mossmotors.com/MemberServices/TechTips/TechTipsArticle.aspx?TechTipID=9&ModelID=50000&SubcompCode=P000 Technical Tips & Assistance AH Sprite/MG Midget << Tech Tips << Categories << Articles Audible Directional Flasher Frank Lindauer Atlanta, GA Here's a tech tip for those of us whose hearing is not what it used to be when we were younger, or those of us who are younger and just can't hear the directional flasher or see the flasher indicator light, especially with a top down in daylight.

I have a new Kenlowe kit, built to go in front of the radiator in my 71 crossflow 1275 Midget, but I'm interested in fitting the electric fan off a 89 Civic Si behind the rad if there's room. With my engine out, I can't measure the gap. The Honda unit looks far more robust an air mover, but will need a minimum or 4 and a half inches - 5'd be better. Could one of you boys 'n girls go measure? Sure would appreciate it. It's 86 degrees in my shop today - could be worse, eh? Thanks... MORE

HHmmm... I don't see how towing would fall under that category.... How would a tow truck be allowed to tow a vehicle. At least in MD... you see wrecked...no tags on the vehicle... most definitely wrecked 'non-operational' vehicles towed wheels on the ground all the time.

In California the law is the wheels of a car with a non-operational registration status are not allowed to touch any road surface either while moving or parked or towed with wheels touching the road. I now have a no fee permit that allows me one day to move it from one location to another. If I did not have 55 miles to travel in heavy freeway traffic with no back roads only 55 miles of city streets and traffic I would not bother with such silly rules.

"Attention all Southern California Listers." I have been talking about it for 6 months now, and it is time to put up or shut up!!!!!! This is an invitation to anyone (in the world) who would like to come to San Diego to have a beer and meet face to face for some LBC stories. (If you are coming from some other part of the world, you can stay with me, I can sleep up to 4 people, 8 if they are "good" friends.) lolol The big plan so far is to meet in San Diego on Friday evening...

Hey Don, I'll be sending you some photos in the next day or two. We got the Rivergate in and your rollbar ready to install. All of my mad money is gone but it really drives great. Being able to do a "California Stop" took some getting used to. As soon as this hurricane blows through, I'll get outside and take some pictures of the car. Thanks, Jack "austinbud2002" 23415... MORE

I've completed converting my Bugeye over to negative ground, but I am having a problem converting the tachometer from positive ground to negative. The only tach conversion instructions I have been able to find on the internet or books are for a different type (earlier positive ground tachs?) and the configuration & colored wires do not match. I need advise from Listers who have done a similar tach conversion in past. First ... tach is not original Bugeye. My tach is from a later Mark 2 Sprite (HAN7), specifically a Smiths RVI2401/00 Positive Earth. The white wires wrap around... MORE
