mike! if yours were rubber bumpers orignially, (this one and the v6), how have you managed to lower the front? love the fitment, really struggling getting mine low
Both this roadster and my GT were RB cars. I swapped in the CB cross member in both cars, the GT has a CB steering rack for the quicker rack ratio as its more track orientated, I honestly cant remember what I did to that cars rack now its so long ago but I seem to think it has parta of both steering columns and still wasnr a straight swap. I have had 11 MGBs now all with the CB swap and I swear I have done it different every time! The roadster I did within the last year and its the RB rack with repositioned subframe mounts, I bought the rack forward 15mm or so due to the column length, but this reduces the steering lock and messes with the geometry so is something I will do a video on in a few weeks time when I hopefully remedy it. Sorry to be of less help, Im aware its a minefield of info on this online but from my experience there is no bolt up upgrade without some form of welding as even if you get the column and rack from an early car you need to reposition the engine mounts
@@mike_wallheadChrist that’s a long job but needed for the fitment so I’ll have to persevere 😂 I’ve read the steering rack issues might be mitigated with shims under the rack mounts to make it higher but idk if that would help your issues, cheers for the advice though mate, you’re bloody right about it being a minefield of info out there 😂
Bet the Missus wasn't to happy when you hung the net curtain back up in the living room lol. Thats a great paint trick, Ill put that to use.
@@Gixie-R you have just got to remember to paint them white again after your finished :)
Excellent video, adding lightness is a satisfying thing to do.
Looking forward to more videos like this. 👌
Wow, a carbon fibre boot lid.
The bare carbon fibre look is great, old and new technology working together, looks ace!
Love the new rims, can’t wait to see every single panel go carbon! 😂
Great video Mike! Engine conversion should be a good video
This is incredibly cool!
Just need a carbon bonnet now 👌. Looking forward to following this build mate 👍
Cant wait for the engine conversion to see what weight get saved
Time to do the fenders!
@@jeffreymoffitt4070 oh your not wrong! They do need replacing
Quite fancy trying this
Can we have a walk round and info on that £3000 work bench 😂
Il make sure it happens before christmas for you 👌 I have some other updates planned to get that project moving again :)
