the Yanks about losing the Rev war because it was the French who
did it. The blokes in the US were still British and remained so
even after the final debacle - for a while. <br>

friend who runs a small shop is working on a 1980 MGB—the
first rubber-bumper B he’s encountered. Neither he nor
anyone else who looks at the car can understand why the
cooling system was designed with no opening (cap) at the
highest point to let fluid in or—more importantly—to let air
out of the system, and with no tap at the bottom to drain
the coolant.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Anyone
experienced in dealing with this cooling system have any
suggestions? He’s thinking of inserting a piece of tubing
with a filler cap into the upper radiator hose to speed up
system refill and get the air out of the head—he suspects
this is why the owner had overheating problems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">My
’71 B/GT is in the shop next to this ’80, and we wonder why
the later car had the radiator/oil cooler positions reversed
and a dual electric fan fitted. The previous layout would
seem to offer better cooling, and my car never had any
overheating problems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

wouldn’t dare repeat his comments on the job of bleeding the
clutch system. He’s an old-time racing mechanic and
believes that parts ought to be ACCESSIBLE. We are
convinced that British car designers were getting revenge
