2 Pres. Eric s MGB Transplant Update. Rover conversion Pt. 5 Continuing my Rover V8 conversion, last month sported the necessary divorce proceeding. As with any divorce, there were mixed emotions. Don t turn back, look ahead. All items were removed from the engine bay, wire brush quickly removed the dealer applied undercoating and rust, then applied a rust neutralizer. Dan Hines convinces Eric MG Throttle never made cable one mounting of these! bracket that came with my stem to stern kit wouldn t accept the cruise control cable, so I grabbed some spare 1 aluminum strapping, cut and bent a few pieces, then welded them together. Nearly forgot to offset for the power break vacuum connection, but it all worked out okay. Engine and transmission are bolted together ready to do a little dating. It s a tight fit, but engine sits in nicely. Learned the motor mounts have to be attached to the car first, then fitted to the adaptor brackets once in place.! Page 2

3 Yard Art? Basically, it s a Tinworm Festival. Although some severely energetic members would attempt to bring them back to life. Some of these poor puppies say Take me home? Alan Miller in Mike Pearson s Big Back Yard, during Mike s???th Birthday Party.! Page 3

4 Some LABCC Members. Do you know who they are? Do we need a caption contest? Cut-out the last image on the lower rt. and redeem at Brian Kelly s shop of dirty fingers. If you bring your under-running Brit vehicle, he will be happy to watch you figure-out the problem. PLUS - he may have a fresh batch of tea?! Page 4
