Well after weeks of driving my (daily driver B!) with almost no clutch I finally
got around to rebuilding the master cylinder (easy). . but decided while I was
greasy and "sworking" to replace my heater core so that I might enjoy semi-
draught free and cozy motoring (awk!) Lemme tell all you's. . .that job is
a bitch! I don't reccommend attempting it unless you have unlimited patience
and dedication. . MG may have changed the design on the later cars and I hope
that they did because the design of the heater box and related cables and hoses
is archaic at best. . in the end I got VERY lucky and had a control cable thread
itself (almost as if it had a mind of its own) Maybe the keepers of the sacred
octagon were smiling on me, in any event it is done and I once again have a
heater! I was able to pick up a good used heater core from O'connors for $40!
Interesting item to note: While at O'connors yesterday, I saw what looked like
a "C GT" although the Bonnet "lump" looked different-the guy had a blower on
it!! It was a pretty clean job sucking through a single SU! I think the blower
was made by a company called Retech? Anyone ever seen ona these
later
