Hello Dave,

 

It's been some years, but I used to ship motorbikes and other palletized
goods via Allied Van Lines. They have a special goods division (I think it's
called) and they use swing drivers and 48' vans to shoot stuff all over the
country. If they can get into a residential area, they'll deliver right to
the door. YMMV.

 

Cheers,

 

David

Dave,

If it's just a handful of pieces, you could try Shipsmart
(www.shipsmart.com).  We used them several times after my wife's mother
died, to ship some of her family pieces from North Carolina to New York.
They are very careful and reliable.

HTH,
Peter Schauss

Where are the coil and CSI picking up their 12v supplies from?


The RVI tach is current triggered and wired from the ignition switch 
(not the fusebox) though a pick-up on the tach to the coil +ve and 
pulses through the coil register on the tach.


Prior to 1973 and the RVC tach electronic ignition systems usually needs 
to be powered from the white at the fusebox as the additional current 
from the electronics flowing through the tach pickup can cause 
problems.? However they usually read too high in that case.


FWIW RB cars with ballasted ignition systems also need electronic 
ignition to be powered from the white at the fusebox even though they 
have an RVC tach as the coil +ve is continually switching between 12v 
and 6v and that can confuse the ignition system.


But it sounds like the problem may be more with the tach itself, they 
can be tested if you have an old-fashioned trickle charger as described 
here http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/gauges.htm#tachtest

Incidentally if you _do_ have a wire from the fusebox white to the coil 
+ve it's probably bypassing the tach pick-up.

I believe that these are early mgb seats.  They came in an mga.  I am trying to verify that before I order seat covers, foams, etc.

Thank you!

We picked up an MGA, and I think the seats are early MGB seats.  Can anyone verify/disprove that?  I would like to know before I order new seat covers, foams, etc

Yes, they look like Mk. I MGB seats to me. I can?t verify dimensions, but the frame construction and cover pattern exactly matches the ones I had in my 66.

MGA Competition Deluxe Seats are very similar to early MGB seats, 
just one inch narrower in the frames.  It is common practice to cut 
and weld MGB seat frames to make MGA CD Seat frames.

My MGA roadster had MGB seats. IMHO they are superior to the original MGA seats which I have in my MGA coupe.
BTW, I have 2 good MGA seat bases which I?d sell as well as a lot of A parts, but you gotta pick them up in NYC.

Starting with early MGB seat frames, slice them right down the center 
to remove one inch, and weld them back together tomake MGA 
Competition Deluxe Seat frames.  I don't have the width dimension, 
but someone was recently posting pictures with a tape measure to show 
the finished dimensions of Competition Deluuxe Seats.

[cid:image001.jpg at 01D9A782.40AA9B10]

Part 96E (the early is straight; I have the later bent type) appears to be leaking out of the top on the passenger side where it meets the brake line.  The driver side seems to be ok. I took the two brake lines in to a hose specialist and had them remake both sides.

Do I just need to replace it (and the other side while I'm at it) or is there a cure that I am missing?

I suspect the problem is at the tach itself.? Wired as per that diagram 
where the electronic ignition picks up it's 12v supply from the coil +ve 
i.e. via the RVI tach is when you can get over-reading, it's always best 
to power them from the white at the fusebox where the RVI is concerned.? 
Ironically it's also best to do that with RB cars even though they have 
the later RVC tach due to the lowered voltage at the coil +ve.

However first thing to confirm is that the ignition _is_ being powered 
via the RVI tach, and to do that remove either of the white wires from 
the back of the tach with the engine running and it should stop.? If it 
doesn't then the coil is being supplied from somewhere else and the tach 
is being bypassed.? I accept? it may not be easy to get at the tach but 
it will have to be done sometime.

If the engine does stop then reconnect it, and check you have 12v on the 
spade terminal on the back of the tach (green wire) and an earth going 
to the case, which is usually a black wire under one of the knurled 
fixing screws, with the ignition on.

If you have both of those then either the tach electronics or internal 
connections are faulty, or maybe the needle is stuck.? So before doing 
anything else, with the engine revving at about 2k or so give the glass 
a sharp rap with a knuckle.
