"Trump freezes all immigration applications from 19 countries - as White House prepares to expand travel ban to more than 30 nations"

If only we could invite Trump to replace Starmer as PM.

Not only freeze immigration by undesirables, but deport those already here.

With our spineless politicians, we've gor no hope.

For all his rhetoric, I frankly wonder if even Farage w...

I'm just curious, as I swapped to a t9 box, and my ribcase has resided in my loft for the last 25 plus years.

But what exactly is the coating on the synchro made from? Can't it be replaced?

You have to measure between the spade terminals with the wiring removed.

Originally the coil for CB MGBs measured close to 3 ohms. You can get 'sport' (higher output) coils that measure about 2.5 ohms and these are fine. Do not go any lower on a CB as the points (if you have points) will burn and the coil will overheat due to excessive current.

If you have electronic ignition...

...so, I collected my new windscreen rubber and fully removed the old one.

First revelation was that the old rubber is 52mm deep. No wonder it didn't want to be curved back on itself on the bottom edge! That's a lot of extra material.

Second revelation is that the old T-section was over 10mm wide, much wider than the 8mm width of my replacement extrusion (same as the NTG part)....

Thanks Rob , they look very close if not thesame . I will take a look .
NTG don't have any in stock , and neither do Octagon .
Cheers John

I am not to good with electrics always thought a coil was a coil but am happy to learn. How do you tell if it’s 3 ohm.
Getting a reading of 2.5 resistance and 9.46 from the high tension output f the 12 volt Bosch coil, are these suitable readings for my distributor. Thanks Trev

Thread revival to help someone read this thread.

My driveshaft vibrates from 2800 to 3700 rpm: I can see it in my rearview mirror and feel it on my gear lever. It's not very much, but it's annoying, especially at night. The axle is balanced. I've tried the differential connection in all positions. Could it be that the engine and differential need to be aligned? This can be achieved by adjusting the upper control arm.

Yes I agree with Bill, The third gear looks quite worn. I can't make out the detail on the selector. Good idea to refresh the springs but stronger ones make selection stiffer.

I have got the correct Bmc tool for reassembling the selector if you are stuck although I have used a wide zip tie successfully

A very confusing subject overall but fortunately relatively straightforward for CB MGBs (of all specs as it happens) as Mike has said.

The important thing is to measure the resistance of the primary before fitting it, suppliers and even manufacturers have been known to make mistakes in labelling and understanding of what fits what.
