Your videos might just be my savior mate i have a 1972 MKIII Midget i just got. jerry speaking of noises i detect a rattling in mine and when i pressed down on the Alternator it seemed to stop so i think i am getting warm on that :)
Cheers Raymond, glad the documentation of my 'struggles' are useful. Regarding your noise, perhaps try to give the alternator and water pump pulleys a bit wiggle to see if there is any movement as a result of bearing wear in their shafts. Seem to recal there was a bit of a rattly noise when the previous water pump expired many years back. Otherwise it could just be some tightening / adjusting of the alternator is required. Good luck hunting the culpret down and do drop us a line and I'll do what I can to help.
Good luck with sourcing the sound you are looking for Mike. Out of interest are these new horns of mine that European sound? I thought they sounded rather more modern than I was expecting.
Did the belt goes to crankshaft pully as well ?
Yes belt goes round crankshaft pulley, water pump and alternator (or dynamo if you have one)
Thank you for the second half. Cheers.
It was so nice to take the car out for a decent drive; such fun to drive.

3:47 😂😂
Made me smile in the edit 😁
Jerry, I’m aware it’s a couple of years since fitting the horns but do you remember where you purchased them. Was it Moss or MGOC club shop. Thanks
Sorry just seen this comment 😬. Horns came from Moss
Your wearing the same shirt as in the first video of changing out the fan belt.
Same shirt as a number of the early videos 😁. I've changed to a polo shirt now and they do get washed 😉
Hope I can find a european sounding horn at my local parts house. My horns are dreadfully inadequate.
