They pranged my MGB

I have a spare locking cap around here somewhere if you want it.

I just got an email from Victoria British. They’re sending a new cap. Thanks, though!

Hope it works this time.

Make sure you have this on hand too… More important than Blinker Fluid for BMW drivers

Seriously though, get a tube of dielectric grease and as you clean the corrosion off your ground points and bullet connectors, give them a good coat. IME experience, Lucas gets a bad rap - just keep the corrosion at bay (hard after 50-60 years) and things work the way they should.

I have an extra valve cover, which I found when I was cleaning out the trailer. Someone painted it red, instead of the original dark red. I thought, ‘Hey, I have a can of the original-colour red in the Jeep! I’ll just go ahead and refinish this puppy. Why not?’ So I sanded it to give the new paint something to stick to. (Actually, I’ll get some primer and put that on first.) I went out to the Jeep to get the paint out of the little box of MGB stuff I’d tossed in there. I grabbed the can of paint and… it’s practically empty. :smack:

I sprayed the valve cover with high-temperature primer this morning. Since I was done with the primer, I thought I’d just put the can in a cupboard. There’s a full can of MGB dark red engine paint in there. :smack:

Well, now I have an extra can.

The other day I discovered my car has a ‘flash-to-pass’ switch on the turn signal stalk.

My old BMW turn stalk works the windshield sprayer when you pull it toward you. Took me forever to figure that out. And I have the manual and everything!
