This is the most thorough mechanical tutorial I have ever seen, helped me change my alternator on a 1968 mgb mk2 roadster for the first time as a 19 year old amateur mechanic all the way in Australia, thanks for the help!

I broke the nut before I removed the belt and bolts with a socket and breaker bar. Life simplified

Excellent video - my job for this coming weekend. Thanks

Good video and good information. I see you replaced the old radiator with a new aluminum radiator. I'm restoring a Brown 1978 MGB and i need to replace my radiator.

[@DrDExplainsStuff]

Yessir! In fact this is the video where I did the radiator work if you need any reference: th-cam.com/video/VaqZVIJ15QI/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching and let me know if you have any questions!

Another Great video, that wd 40 rust remover works quite well, I've been working way to hard all these years with my wire brush and sand paper. Your videos are exactly what I needed to help get my Mg Back on the road.

Thanks so much! I’ll keep ‘em coming!

Thank you so much! I’m working on editing the next video now - how to replace your clutch slave cylinder. :)

I've really enjoyed this series. I'm working on a 1979 MGB that sat unused for quite a few years.
I'm curious how you capped the ports for air rail that was part of the smog pump. Any tips?

Allen screws! 7/16 x 20 Allen screws with loktite

Where on earth can I buy the tensioner bolt that holds the tensioner bracket in position??

[@crumblefest]

U should have removed the fan and pulley from the alternator before you took it off the car...
