141. Re: Tow Bar (score: 1): Author: jtilton@vt.edu (Jay Tilton); Date: Sat, 27 Jan 1996 15:19:59 +0500; Seen that done before. Should work fine. Good idea (couldn't hurt anyway), especially if you'll be dragging it more than say twenty miles. Disconnect it at the differential.

Can't rememeber, but "Asia" is close enough. Might see how competitive British Wire Wheel's prices are. Can't be sure, but I'; /html/mgs/1996-01/msg00686.html (8,848 bytes)

Keeps things nicely cool in the summer. For frosty winter days, I cut the radiator airflow with the lid to a pizza box.

As I recall, older Saab's were powered by Triumph engines. Granted, not the 900, but there's still a *tiny* bit of kinship there. -- Jay Tilton / jtilto; /html/mgs/1995-12/msg00153.html (6,997 bytes)

Staple the ass-ends of two MGB GT's together! Quadruple (or more) your cargo capacity. Keep a rear seat in it and you've doubled your passenger; /html/mgs/1995-12/msg00154.html (6,914 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: jtilton@vt.edu (Jay Tilton); Date: Fri, 15 Dec 1995 10:55:20 +0500; There are those who maintain that MGD was BL's alternate choice of name for the MGB GT V8. I have no documentation of any sort to prove it. It's just a "friend of a friend" type story. -- Jay Tilton; /html/mgs/1995-12/msg00272.html (6,725 bytes)

True, the coil's position doesn't directly affect (not "effect") its operation, but the wires are just *barely* long enough to attach to the terminals on a coil in an upright (; /html/mgs/1995-11/msg00115.html (7,888 bytes)
