My 1973 MGB GT has one of the sticker #19's on the top of the valve cover. As far as I know, it's been there since the car was built.

14 is the air pump filter housing.

Just checked my GT, all the others are missing, sorry. I did note though, my tyre pressure sticker on the door lists both radial and cross-ply tyres.

#6 goes on the crosspiece that divides the area into two compartments under the battery cover lid. On my car, it is to the rear of the center Zus fastener. The orientation is such that if you were leaning in from the passenger door, it would read left to right and be "level" with your eyes if you know what I mean.....ie you don't have to tilt your head one way or the other to read it.

Pre-resto remanants of mine to illustrate Robert's description:


Also, for #13, the tire pressure sticker on my '70 was on the door itself under the latch mechanism, not on the jamb.

On a 1972, the tire pressure decal (#13), is on the inside of the glove box door. I am real curious about the location of #4...

I'm wondering if there were strict rules at the factory about sticker locations or sort of "loose guidelines"

Something like "...I don't give a bloody hell where you put the negative Earth sticker Nigel...you can stuff it up your arse for all I care..."

You know, something colorfully British like that:)
