I got to tell you a story about bent SU needles. The very first sports car=
that acquired was in Germany in 1954. I was Air Force and one of the flyi=
ng officers got in deep trouble with the civilian governments and the air f=
orce and was what they called =E2=80=9Criffed=E2=80=9D and sent home. He h=
ad a 48 MG TC that he had taken over to Germany from the states, that got l=
eft behind, when he was sent home. Through a fellow sports car club member,=
we negotiated a deal, and I got the MG for about $400, I think. We towed=
it to the hanger that I worked out of, and I started to learn something a=
bout MGs. Some where along the line I took one of the SUs apart. I took th=
e screws out of the bell and lifted the bell up. Guess what, the piston ca=
me up also and proceeded to drop to the ground. The needle was badly bent b=
ut was not broken. So, I proceeded to do the roll trick and straightened i=
t the best that could. The next time I had a day off I drove to Koln in t=
he MG and got a new set of needles from the importer. End of story. =20
