[Mgs] MGB Question

[RampantNM at aol.com]

Last weekend as I piddled with the B, I was under the dash, sort of, trying  
to get the headlight switch back together so the light from it did not show  
through the brake test gizmo, and I found a 6-8 inch steel rod, with a white  
plastic handle hanging down out of the darkness.
 
What is this?  I thought maybe the cowl vent? but I could not move it  in any 
direction.  I do have part of the dealer installed air conditoner in  the way.
 
Also, that brake test gizmo...how important is that.  I've had them on  
Midgets and such before, but never truly understood their funtion and  use.   I'm 
thinking I could add a clock or something in that  space.
 
Regards,

Robert B. Houston

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual  Skinners Union
carburetors in his vintage MG, highly functional yet  pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for  experienced hands, 
the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be  inspected and 
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the Haynes shop  manual.
