A big thank you to all who replied to my post about replacing the wing
beading & the 'porpoising' on the front end on my newly acquired MGA 1500.
I filled the shocks with oil and whizzo, away went the vibration and the
porpoising. Re the beading, I'm gonna live with it painted over until it's
time to do the body off restore (Unless I can convince myself that I can do
it without cracking the paint).
I have a couple more questions I would really appreciate help with.
1) I need to re-glaze the winshield (windscreen for those of us who say
tomaaahhto <g>). Is this an easy job?, do I need to completely remove the
frame or can I remove the top of the frame, slide the old glass out and
insert a new glass?
2) The car has been fitted with Petronix electronic ignition - the timing
seems off - how do I set the timing on an 'A' with Petronix?
3) Thr starter drags, especially when cold (sounds like it smoked 3 packs of
Rothmans & drank 8 pints of Boddingtons Best Bitter the night before). It
has a recently re-built starter on it. Could this be a bad re-build on the
starter or could this be related to the starter pull switch?
Again, many thanks for your help.
Cheers, Rick
