It's smaller and has a builtin handle, makes it real easy to remove it. Then I got a battery hold-down kit with two long rods, threaded on one end and a ho; /html/british-cars/1994-12/msg00130.html (7,328 bytes)

RE: Battery cut-off switch (score: 1): Author: Rick Colombo <COLOMBO@fndcd.fnal.gov>; Date: Tue, 13 Dec 1994 8:58:59 -0600 (CST); Electrically speaking, to disable an electrical circuit, you want to remove the ground cable first. So, on a positive ground circuit, you want to remove the positive cable. Since battery posts are di; /html/british-cars/1994-12/msg00412.html (7,380 bytes)

6. MGB steering removal (score: 1): Author: Rick Colombo <COLOMBO@fndcd.fnal.gov>; Date: Wed, 24 Aug 1994 9:19:30 -0500 (CDT); Ok, I give up. How do you remove the steering wheel on a '77 MGB? The manual says to *carefully* pry the cover off, but I don't see how, it appears to be one piece molded to the entire wheel. (I'd li; /html/british-cars/1994-10/msg00341.html (7,091 bytes)

Turns out that the MG logo is a cap/cover that pops out. It was such a tight fit that I didn't realize that I could pop it out.

8. MGB steering rack question (score: 1): Author: Rick Colombo <COLOMBO@fndcd.fnal.gov>; Date: Fri, 9 Sep 1994 9:42:43 -0500 (CDT); I want/need to fill my rack with grease, but I can't find the grease fitting.

9. RE: MGB steering rack question (score: 1): Author: Rick Colombo <COLOMBO@fndcd.fnal.gov>; Date: Tue, 13 Sep 1994 9:31:36 -0500 (CDT); Hence the confusion. The Haynes manual shows a Zerk fitting and says to put grease in there. Since I don't have the fitting, guess I'm suppose to put gear oil in there.

MGB radiator question/problem (score: 1): Author: Rick Colombo <COLOMBO@fndcd.fnal.gov>; Date: Tue, 2 Aug 1994 10:20:08 -0500 (CDT); There's a temperature probe that goes into the radiator and is held in with a rubber gasket.

I put one through the radiator, linked three together and wrapped it over the top of the radiator and the probe. The car has been d; /html/british-cars/1994-08/msg00092.html (6,912 bytes)
