Nice, thanks for the write up and update.

Well, a slight hiccup, getting roller rockers to fit my LS7 heads is not as straight forward as I thought…  So looks like I need to sell that second kidney (thank god for dialysis) to pay for these trick Jesel ones.

Well, that was a long day for not too much to show for it!  It was missing the 5 countersunk screws that hold the brake drums to the hubs. Lots of the fasteners on the car re very off ball.  It was made that not long after the second world war so stuff was still hard to get.  Morris had actually bought some french fastener company, so some of th…[Read more]

So turns out the there is a company called Moss in the UK who specializes in period MG parts etc.  So made up a bit of a list of some of the parts I need and they arrived today.  Never ceases to amaze me how bloody slow our postal service is, I regularly receive stuff from overseas in half the time Aust Post takes, hopeless.  But anyhow that gi…[Read more]

Very neat, nice write up.

This thing sure has progressed/improved hasn’t it, I guess thats the way race cars go, very cool car.

Lol, you two keep your man crushes to yourselves.

Sorry mate, you can’t, I have my name in that que….

Well, we have a number in mind, but that is secret mens business 

Nice work mate, neat wiring pays off in spades as soon as you strike a gremlin and have to chase it through.

So making a start on the brakes. Thought I would pull off and check, clean, paint and reassemble each wheel one at a time. Already learning a few MG specific things to know. But the left rear is almost done.  Have to say brakes have got to be about the least enjoyable and dirty part of a build. But they are kinda important!

I know some of the race car guys in the states swear by those perforated cones, I tried them and didn’t get enough reduction.  Would be super interested to know the actual dB drop.  Very cool.

Yea I know, but the Senator really should be a done deal soon, and I am happy to put the Kombi on the back burner whilst I finish off the MG.  But yea my family has a history of too many unfinished projects so I want to try and stay focused 

Do they really work, have you done a back to back dB test by any chance?

And that is what we all want
