MG
The Classic Marque

Hi Tim

Your first method is the correct way to do this. Sorry, no short cuts.

What kind of MG Y do you have?

1. Set the steering wheel so that the front wheels are dead ahead and chock them front and rear.
2. Remove the horn push/turn signal controller unit.
3. Take a photo of how the electrical connections connect before disconnecting them.
4. Using an impact driver with a suitable socket over the lock nut at the top of the steering column and undo the...

What kind of replacement are you looking for Ed? The one that you show in the photo is not correct for EX(U). The correct part number for the EX(U) lenses were MG Part Number 572507 and were Lucas 482/1. As to where you will get them ... sorry no idea but I would start with some of the vendors on the Links page for Electrical (https://www.mg-cars.org.uk/imgytr/links.shtml#Electrical) and email ...

Thanks. I hadn't considered alternator fatness - but I ordered a standard belt anyway as part of my order with the new alternator as I wasn't sure how old the current belt is.

I've been exploring the cause of my sticking oil pressure gauge. For a while the gauge was slow to respond up or down, and has finally stuck showing about 20psi whether the engine is running or not.

The engine has good oil pressure, before you ask!

By working my way along the feed from the engine to the gauge, I've established there is no blockage in the line at any point. So it'...

Thanks very much Willy. Brilliant. Exactly the answer I needed.

I'll slot 'em and refit this weekend.

Yep the mk1 kit by Front Line is 2 deg. But they made the mk2 kit 1 deg. Don't know why they went for 2 deg to begin with, esp' as it was advertised for road use too.

But FL don't have a good/great reputation with some folks. Esp' Nigel who hates them with a passion. Lol.

an. I had fabricated top arms on my racer midget with slotted mountings that bolted on the old shocker mounting plates. The slots allowed 6.5mm(1/4") travel and that gave a 0-2deg neg adjustment so going from that i'd suggest 1/8" per degree.
Also found 2deg to be too much and ended up just under 1deg as in 50'-55'neg. to be the ideal setting after lots of testing. For anyone to need 2deg. neg...

I'm going to refit my mk1 Frontline front shock conversion kit.

But it gives '2' degree neg camber. I didn't like it. I want less.

I'd like to reduce it to 1 degree.

I want to do it by moving the arm out, by lengthening the mounting plate holes.

How much in mm or inches, do I need to move the plate to reduce the neg camber from 2 degrees to 1 degree?

How much mov...

Yep.

Then we'll pay 10 grand each, 40 grand a family if they leave when asked nicely to do so.

Then they'll get on a boat and come back for a other payment.

If we ain't blown to hell by nukes, this country is buggered anyway. 🙄.

Does anyone know where I can obtain a replacement on the rear fender tail lamps?
