MG
The Classic Marque

It used to be Maplin but now either ebay (although you'd probably have to buy 10) or cpc Farnell maybe. Modern capacitors are fine (better in fact) in the old circuit.

Today, wings have just a first coat. Entire car needs rubbing down and a second and possibly third coat, applying before the clear coat.

Still a lot to do.

Update on some progress on friend's fire ravaged MGB. Getting there albeit slowly.

Be nice to know where you go to get such replacement capacitors for our ancient instruments

I just remembered that any attempt to change the curvature front to back will stress the wheel arch. A lot of these bonnets have cracks at the top of the arch.

I had my steel bonnet stood on end in the garage for at least 10 years. I confess that I didn't try fitting it until I had restored it, which involved dismantling by drilling out the spot welds.

Did you get the option of a speed awareness course? I think you were slow enough to qualify.

I have been done recently - in Derbyshire - Just a bloke with a camera on a bridge and a plain white van 79 mph on a sunny Sunday on the M1, I now keep myself to rural roads.

Then I saw one in Warks, Police van, but backed into the trees.

It's as if speeding was a big issue in the UK, as opposed to all the other issues we have....
