    They look like Minilites to me, they look cool on MGs'.

    If you want to go original it should have Rostyles.

    They’re KN Minator (it’s written on the wheel), http://home.btconnect.com/knwheelsltd/
    The originals would have been RoStyle.

  6. I picked a MG Midget up for someone the other day from London back to the IoW [​IMG]

    He called 3 days later asking for help as the front suspension had collapsed. The wishbone had detached from the front wheel !!!

    Very nice....but have you a little friend living in there (pic 1), think you may have a mouse:eek:
     
  12. Yep, for sure, you're right!! Little bugger chewed through two pieces of wire insulation. Thankfully the remnants left behind identified what wires were damaged. A check and wrap of insulation tape later and I'm hoping all will be ok.

    Really pleased with how it's come up although it actually wasn't that bad

  14. I've just spent 5 hours helping a mate replace all sorts of wiring on his 79 B after the overdrive wires shorted out under the gear lever and melted the loom - it only takes 5 mins to check them - as you change gear the wiring from that O/D switch rubs against the bodywork eventually the casing wears through. Undo the 4 screws holding the gaiter on and check all is well...............lovely B by the way!!

  16. Turned it over before connecting battery and it felt good so straight on with battery and it turned over nice!!
    Only issue is not firing, fuel gauge showed empty so stuck in five litre cans worth of fuel and still nothing.
    Fuel gauge hasn't moved so I'm thinking top up with more fuel or dodgy fuel pump??
    Tapping the fuel filter in the engine bay it didn't appear to have any fuel in it either??
     
  17. Cheers :thumbsup:
     
  18. Just as I warned in my post on previous page
     
  19. Looking good - I would check behind the stainless oversills - they often hide a lot of rust -

  20. Very nice mgb. I have been searching for 6 months now for a nice midget and just bought a rock solid 1976 USA spec, barn find. Two owners from new and was a California import many years ago now converted to rhd and only done 31.000 miles. Will take delivery in two weeks and will post pics and info then. Now where is my bobble hat.
