You'd very likely have made it. Mine recently died on a road trip, battery lasted 3 hours.

I have been a fan of F1 since the Mansel, Prost and Senna era and really look forward to the first race of the year. Sitting down with a glass of McCallan in front of the box signifies the start of the F1 season and Spring.

But last Sunday was a disapointment! These new 50% electric and 50% petrol cars must have been designed by Edd Milliband. Cars have to slow down to recharge their batt...

All done now using suggestions from Dave and Richard. "New" front shocks and blue super pro trunnion bushes. I removed the trunnions from the kingpins which made it a lot easier to install the bushes. I used an improvised G clamp with mole grip jaws as a spacer, around the trunnion ends to allow the trunnion bolt threads to emerge. I found the poly bushes don't just push in like rubber ones so ...

Nah. STP is an American oil aditives company, The STP engine oil aditive usually as thick as honey.
Good stuff for engine assembly but Personally I wouldn't run it in lever arms .A good 30wt shocker oil is best--from motorcycle shops(fork oil)--DON"T use normal hydraulic oil as it froths up when it's worked hard
The std. MGB shocker valves are internally .adjustable, usually for sporty/co...

It seems to me too, more than a coincidence the horizontal break is along the top of that plate. Even without rust there must be extra stresses. But, it lasted almost 60 years. So perhaps it doesn't matter much; -- as long as the shocks aren't too 'stiff...

Can someone please post address & contacts for V & C please that I may pass on to others.

My red circle indicates where some of the metal is missing. Rusted away. I hadn't noticed it. 😬.

My thoughts exactly Guy. Not seized, but definitely stiffer than my originals. And makes me wonder too, on the risks of uprated shocks on standard metal panels. As with uprated roll bars ripping off the standard brackets.

My existing RHS shock' became too 'soft'. I'd bought a used good pair, and I did wonder if they'd been 'uprated', as although my existing LHS shock seemed fine, -- bounc...

Thanks Guy, I mcould try that once ive tryed out the Moss adjusters.
What engine oil do you put in 20W50?
Mineral?
Where does STP stand for?
