greybeard's got it covered-
It doesn't matter how many solar panels or wind turbines there are, there still needs to be some form of base power in the system--like gas/coal fired generators, nuclear, hydro/elect or batteries, even old water wheels are more stable than solar.
We've been well beyond net zero here for years on our little island using hydro/electric and more recently backed u...

It also highlights the risk of having such an extensive inter country single grid. Whilst a 'national' grid was important 80 years ago to provide a national balanced system, the demand then was so much less. There would now be a strong case for separate regional grids that could operate individually during normal circumstances. Might save on a few landscape destroying mega pylon routes too!

I knew the welding was problematic. Back in the 70's in SoCal we had a aircraft guy that somehow was able to overcome all of that and repair the sumps for us.

That was an amazing story, some great sleuthing and a great recreation of a historic event. What a great story and so well documented.

Its also great to see that the TC MG is as strong and active as ever.

There are a few things that can cause this. Can you post pictures of the lower corners in detail? What I am looking for is that the inside corners meet up vs the outside corners.

Also did you replace the cowl brackets? New ones may have a different alignment than the originals.

Hi Bruce, Thanks for your response. It is very crazy. I just removed the housing on the Left side. It appears if the lower rail on the windshield was moved up that would may the windshield somewhat wider but I don't it would be enough. I'll just fiddle a bit more and see what happens.

thanks,

Wonderful

Steve, thank you for a terrific story and video. It really shows us the spirit and love that early MG-T owners had for their cars. And that the love continues today.

Our club (The Classic MG Club) is sixty-two years old. We also have photos of early club events. Sounds like a “recreation” drive is in our future!

Fantastic, Steve! Having just celebrated my 90th birthday I could picture myself in that era.

Thanks Ray. That makes interesting reading. So power (fuel) consumption between 2.5 and 5 miles per kW but very dependant on conditions and driving style, as one would expect.
I see that Octopus, amongst their myriad of tariffs, do a night time EV charge at 7p/ kw, so an average at say 3.5 or 4 miles per kw is costing 1.75 to 2p / mile.
Rather better than my Volvo costing 15p per petrol mi...

Looks like my suspicions were close enough. Supply frequency is the standard measure of other factors, such as phase balancing. Solar power doesn't have enough ooomph behind it when something goes out of balance.
It's a bit of a long read for an internet post but here it is.
