Oh well, the work on the engine and bay made the source of the oil leak easy to find and it's had a freshen up now so you know it's good for some more miles. Just enjoy it now, especially with the summer coming on. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas...
I love cars with chokes. My sister had this amazing Fiat 128. It had the choke and throttle next to it which was a primitive cruise control. The car was a utilitarian blue and could not climb the Rockies and left her stranded but it was a cool car.
To pull fill the pilot hole full of grease on the crankshaft, take a piece of wood ( i use a piece of broom handle) Carve it to where it will slide in the hole. Smack it with a hammer...its that easy.... Make sure the pilot hole in the back of the crank is full of grease!! Works like a charm
tea bags... ha ha. As a hot rodder in my youth, those who drove MGs ,triumphs etc were refered to as teabaggers .Now i understand .I think. yes cotter pins are the tapered pin,sometimes with a nut on them, and Clevis pins are the pin with a hole for the Split pin that go on the clevis joints.
Good move on making a brass sleeve, I was gonna suggest taping the outer race for a bolt then extract with a plate puller. Also you thought of buying a needle scaler(air) for removing undercoat ,rust etc.? Great tool and quick too. Love the new engine look .
Hi Peter , Love your work! I’m doing a complete rotisserie Restoration on a 67 B . Was wondering if you can tell me where you’re getting your small bits and parts plated?
Looks like a fun guy to know. After working on modern intelligent automobiles. It is wonderful to get back to just a vehicle. Everything is so rudimentary.
I agree with you Peter; a cotter pin is like the tapered one for a push bike crank. I also agree that the one(s) at 7:24 are clevis pin (taking the load), and a split pin (to stop the clevis pin coming out). Lovely to see an MGB roadster in decent nick. It is a credit you. Regards Mark in the UK p.s. Yeah, we call them pattern parts (obviously unless original), or pattern panels.
Cheers mate, my daughter bought it (had to pay her back) because the old one died and she didn't like the cheap replacement I bought... Hope you had a terrific Christmas
So, the condensed version of the story is you pulled the engine to find and fix an oil leak and the whole time the problem was a six inch external oil line? Well, you got a clean and shiny motor out of the deal I guess...=)
I have some parts but have shelved it for the next couple of months while I tackle a couple of other things for now. I plan to re-visit it in the Autumn. Cheers

Thanks mate and same to you. It had to be done anyway with the spigot bush, front gearbox gasket and rig gear all being well under par. Cheers
And another job off the list. Well done, great video as always and ended properly with after work beers. I do miss Australia.
Yes a couple of small things and we're done... later on I'll tackle the body, but that can wait. Cheers
It sounds good almost ready to drive a round the block Peter got to be happy about that
I am indeed. Cheers

Yes I did that and more - this was stuck to the point where I think its sizing was incorrect. Cheers
Looks like someone got a new 43" TV - Cheers!
Yes, the old one died, so I bought a cheapy... daughter hated it so returned it and bought this one which is a lot better. Cheers

Indeed... never thought of myself as a treabagger - but I must be. Cheers

Yes, the sintered insert was far easier than the outer releasing... tried a few times to no avail. Cheers

Yes, I'm sure Dave thought he was working on a tractor. Cheers

Thanks mate, great minds think alike. Cheers
I leave my tea bag in Peter, I like my tea nice and strong so I can taste it. Also, great work on the MG, looks really nice.
Thanks Dave, that's the reason I leave it in... just looks off to some people I guess. Cheers
Ha vah eee or Ha wah ya @4:18 LOL r.i.p. Bennie Hill
Good ol' Benny Hill... do you remember the little bald guy he used to slap - Jackie Wright??
Another great video Pete, how's the new 43 inch tv bud lol. Merry xmas to you and yours matey😊
Cheers mate, my daughter bought it (had to pay her back) because the old one died and she didn't like the cheap replacement I bought... Hope you had a terrific Christmas
I always leave my teabag in, I'm a savage and I'm okay with that.
Yes, but you probably done film yourself being a savage like I do haha. Cheers

Yes, but as stated above it had to be done anyway with the spigot bush, front gearbox gasket and rig gear all being knackered. Cheers
nice1, make your tea strong enough to stand on :)
Always the plan, but I'm still not that good at it... Cheers
What's going on with the CB750
I have some parts but have shelved it for the next couple of months while I tackle a couple of other things for now. I plan to re-visit it in the Autumn. Cheers
Come on mate, NEVER LEAVE YOUR TEA BAG IN YOUR TEA..IT DRAWS TOO MUCH AND RUINS THE TASTE. But I've really enjoyed your programmes,well done.
But I like it...
Any updates on the XL250?
On the way Dan. Cheers
gettig good if you can type upside down peter
Tea bags not left in tea? You're just not the same.
Down-voted, unsubbed and made a nasty face at the screen.
Never mind Godfrey... I'll try to blur it in future haha. Cheers
