Bad Blogger....
Well I have been really busy doing stuff on both cars getting ready for the up coming season and that means blogging gets a back seat. Oh and I've been busy at work too! So sorry for being a bad blogger.
Midget.
I have now got hold of some stick on number plates (photo's soon) www.fancyplates.com Really helpful people and a quick service too. Also made the new grill. I used a 1275cc midget grill and cut out the centre piece and flattened off and resprayed black. Then Andy cut out a mesh piece to fit inside it which I bonded in place. The grill is now installed and looks really cool, just have to attach it at the to edge for rigidity. next is fitting the newly acquired electronic ignition kit that was purchased from ebay. Out with the timing light and lots of fiddling about under the bonnet.
MGB.
So I have been sponsored by Summit Motorport in Maidenhead for my tyres this year. www.summitmg.co.uk Which is fantastic news. I have bought a set of Revolution Racing wheels and have had a set of Yokohama 032 racing tyres fitted. These are basically road legal cut slicks so not much grip in the wet.
Also had the B tuned now and lets just say I am really pleased with the performance of the engine.
Stoneleigh.
Went to Stoneleigh spares day yesterday, which is the largest MG spares day of the whole year. Managed to pick up some bargains for the B and Midget. And got some wheels for a friend too. I manged to find some anti surge plates for my engine mounts on the B. These stop the engine from leaning forward under heavy braking and nudging into the radiator. Not something I want to happen!
Next....
Well got the Awards dinner coming up in a couple of weeks time and also a shake down test at Curborogh. so this should let me iron out any niggles that happen hopefully.
Well if you got though all that thanks!
