AG Gunner 19 April 2021 Hello Trevor, you may well be correct in surmising my relative youth, although I am still old enough to be the parent of the apprentices we are discussing.
From the employer's perspective, there are two issues with hiring an apprentice which relate to the point I made above, and a cultural shift with which those of us 'tainted' with modern thinking have to contend.

Rob Grantham 19 April 2021 Hi All,
Does anyone have a sample of the aluminium stamped
tag which may be located under the brass hex head setscrew located on top of the carby bowl lids ?
I have not seen them on TF carbs however some believe originally they were fitted at the Factory.
Cheers

Back to the car today to replace some of the other parts I fo... -
JIM N 19 April 2021 Don't know what spinners or whatever work with Moss wheels, but I fabricated our spare tire post for MGB splined wheels. I found 2" pipe threads worked with MGB RH thread spinners. I cut an extra long thread on a piece of pipe and cut it to fit/weld to spare tire bracket.

W A Chasser 18 April 2021 Ill take another assessment of the situation when it cools down in a few days.
Raising the motor up with shims wont net me anything since the side panels are basically 90 in relation to the pavement. The engine steady has the engine setting in a neutral position. The radiator is centered in relation to the the apron and sets level on its X member.
Tom you are correct in that many... -
Christopher Couper 18 April 2021 "but I am not sure I want the 60 spoke rims. I am leaning towards the Dayton 72 spoke rims. "
Hah. I think the 48 spoke ones are just right. :-)
