1. There are two styles of chrome rings for blinkers. The early ones have a recess for the screws, later ones don't.
2. There are two styles of oil coolers; r/b and c/b. The r/b mounts are by the oil line fittings.
3. Either there is a missing box of parts, or I sold a lot of my 66 that I now need: grille, trunk octagon and letters, brake cylinders, brake hoses, clutch hose, etc.
4. You can't spend all day in the garage when the top is down and the sun is shining.

You did well chris!! I went for a couple of long burns today too!!! By the way, how many miles should I be getting on a tankfull??? A good running MGB is the greatest!! :o)

Nice looking car Gary. That is the one that you just finished up? We had our Brtish Sports Car Flea Market today and the weather and turnout was perfect. No luck selling my '65 parts car yet but will have to see if I get any phone calls during the week. Also have a '73 GT added to our stable on Friday. Real neat car to drive.
Yup, that is the car!! Anyway, don't panic about not selling the parts car, five people will want it all at once!! Oh, some more pictures here!!

On the road, you can figure close to 28 mpg (American gallons, not those generous English ones) x gallons used. I can't seem to ever remember how big the tank is (12 gal?), and I think the early tanks (62-64) are smaller than the later ones.
Gary...unless its an Airstream motorhome pulling a car hauler 15,000 miles across country, WHO CARES/ Just enjoy that beautiful little car!!!!!!!!
I am asking for a reason!!!! Like I would worry about a $30.00 fillup every week???
My problem is I have no idea how big the tank is!! My speedo isn't hooked up yet, so I was trying to figger out how many miles 4 tankfuls is!! Somebody said they got 450 miles out of a tankful!! Is that true?? Also, I am kind of trying to figger out how many liters it takes to calibrate the gauge in my mind!!
Since you are too lazy to look it up yourself, I did it for you. Early tanks are 10 gal., later tanks are 12.7
In liters, 45 and 58.
:)
and at what economy are u running gary? is that what you are trying to figure out? i think stock was something like 30 mpg?! maybe more?
I go fast Evan!! :o) Gee thanks chris!! You Moss dealers know everything, right??? :o)
Does that mean that I am no longer a Moss dealer? I have been unable to answer a large number of questions lately, more than usual.
I guess you want to know fuel rates for the shot through Wyoming. Make sure you can get through Rock Springs in the day light and into anywhere else before the sun goes down.
I'll carry a fiver!! It will be fun chris!! Tony is gonna come to the show, and then I will run back with him!! Right Tony????
