What can you expect for this weeken...

Did you take the weight off the wheels when greasing i.e. axle stands under the spring pans?

I wouldn't put any solvent in the front suspension, you may have to dismantle to get it all out or risk rapid wear.

The middle nipple wasn't provided initially but that led to inadequate lubrication of the lower end of the king-pin. Can you get grease through the middle nipple when unscrewed...

Good to hear the issue is resolved Tim; now you can enjoy the car in the fine weather.
BTW what's tuned fuel?

Reviving this topic!

After a very long delay, and having replaced floats in floats chambers, balanced carbs and tuned fuel, a good long run today (and especially up that hill that did it before again and again) I can report my spluttering problem seems to have gone away. Didn't make any changes to the ignition - parts or settings, but have a new rotor arm and condenser for another day.

Irrespective of Starmer's defence troubles, Reform will lose Makerfield.

Why oh why didn't they choose a more credible candidate?

Eyes left! Here comes Burnham to lead the loonies and all of us even closer to disaster. And Reform will be partly to blame.

With the Tories long since becoming incinerated toast, the only future hope was Reform. That hope now looks increasingly lik...

Have finally got round to greasing the front suspension of my 1972 UK MGB.

I've unscrewed the nipple and given it a clean to free up the ball, but no success. Can/should I free up the old g...

Hey Merv,

No need to pay fancy prices for a new ½" drain cock. I bought mine 4 years ago from AliExpress for paltry $12. Link at the bottom. As for a coolant, there's nothing that can beat Redline 'Water Wetter' - Google it. Super for hot climes like OZ. But I can't run it for the Winter (-35ºC) and have to change it out for 50% Prestone.

That one went for a song. $8,800. Except for the non-standard black interior, almost perfectly original. Clean as a whistle, too.
