Let me add another question to Preston's.  Has anyone thought of
packaging and selling at a resonable price a "bag of bolts" for a MG. 
Just a set of general sized Brit threaded bolts, so as you took things
apart and put them back together you would have a replacement for the
rusted out ones and the ones you ruin, without having to buy the
"official" sets from Moss, etc., that are the exact 6 bolts for one part
and cost $4.95 plus shipping for the four bolts.

Any ideas on this?

MG one, runs
MG two, can be towed
MG three, needs a trailer for movement purposes.
