Catch Up And Engine Disaster.
Created on 2008-08-16 06:42:40
List of things done:
Headlight buckets cleaned and painted.
Headlights attached, connected and working.
Front parkers and indicator lights on and working.
Tail lights on, not connected as yet.
Side windows in with all new seals and working.
Inner door handles on and working - sort of.
Cover plates where heater was in engine bay made and on.
Cover plate on LHD brake shelf on.
Peddle box attached.
Dipper switch, foot, on.
Throttle stop on.
Carpet at footwells trimmed.
Seat rail supports made and seats in.
Back Bumper supports on.
All of these things have been done over the last few weeks.
This brings us to the main event. To understand this issue it's probably useful to revisit a few posts on the MGB forum. These go back to last October and set a chain of events into effect that lead to the events of last Wednesday.

These posts probably explain it all. Time will tell if there is any lasting damage.

Next issue is the windscreen, I've been putting this off but it has to be done.
Saw some horns on eBay tonight and I'm thinking about getting them. Same seller as the fuel tank so shouldn't be a problem.
No pics, sorry. I've taken some but haven't uploaded them. Fairly mundane stuff anyway.
PS The issue mentioned right at the end is being discussed here:
