We'll leave Yountville and head out to Viansa winery which is close to Infineon Raceway for lunch. Viansa is very, very busy at this time of year but should still be fun.

It does sounds like a really nice trip. I have family (kids, grandkids)coming this weekend so will probably not be able to make it although I may try to catch up somewhere along the route. I guess Nobbc will switch to summer schedule so our first ride this month will be on June 14th at 10 AM. So far, no one has suggested a route but we'll manage!

Message-ID: <7F33513ADD7C4CFCA38F30923985AC18@stevewbxu6x2qe> it,s here, the big one,glenwood rally. as just like the last few years NO.B.B.C. reps. diana duncan and steve lehmann will be presenting the NO.B.B.C./duncan/lehmann/crawdad tr4-a. the nobbc machine is in the stables as i write undergoing final preperations,the shop is a hub of activity and there is a frenzy in the air. as you all know the covented car show on sunday last year produced a second place award to the nobbc entry- well folks that,s not good enuff-nobbc can do better and were working on that right now. we also failed to produce a decent rally and tour grade- however there is good news- today is tuesday and this thing dont start till friday- that means there is time to fly in steve plath and kurt housh to pilot and navigate the tr4-a. over the senic high country routes. crew members in colorado are on standby notice to recive the plath/housh team at the denver airport at a moments notice.. as like last year team no.b.b.c./ duncan/lehmann-is operating on a shoestring budget. therefore nobbc cali can take up a funds collection and have steve and kurt bring it with them. a consentrated nobbc team effort is a must if we are to depart sunday without our tail between our legs and heads hung in shame. let the nobbc shine this year at gleenwood-contribute liberaley to the dues free club!!! send steve and kurt-we need the help!!! and as bartell and james used to say-thank you for your support.

I'll be babysitting my grandson so will probably be unable to make this one. Looks like a nice route and tour so have fun with it! Ron 58 MGA ********************************************************************** Saturday June 7th, 2008 By Marla and Andy Preston We hope you can join us for this year's Sonoma County tour, which will take a different route from previous years. We will be meeting at the Doubletree Hotel located off Golf Course Drive, at 1 Double Tree Drive in Rohnert Park at 9:30 for a 10:00 departure. There is Starbuck's coffee and bathrooms available in the hotel. This was the MG 2007 hotel venue. We'll be heading out to the spectacular Napa Valley for our first stop and then back into Sonoma Valley for lunch. Our route will take us over Crane Canyon through Glen Ellen and then over Trinity Road which boasts one of the most breathtaking views in the area as you descend into the Napa Valley. Our first stop will be at the V Marketplace 1870 in Yountville for a 30 minute break. The 137 year old marketplace (originally the Groezinger Winery) offers upscale specialty shops, galleries, restaurants and most importantly, bathrooms! There's also a wonderful coffee and pastry shop across the street. We will continue our tour along the Silverado Trail (established in 1852) through the Stags Leap appellation and pass by numerous famous wineries on our way to our lunchtime destination. Lunch will be at the Viansa Winery and Italian Market Place which is above the Sonoma Valley on a hilltop overlooking 90 acres of waterfowl reserve. (www.viansa.com) You can buy freshly made wood fired pizzas, hot barbequed sandwiches or a variety of Italian panini sandwiches. The Italian market is a delight itself and hosts 2 wine tasting bars for anyone who wants to do some wine tasting, ($5.00). There is plenty of outdoor seating with live music and wine is also available by the glass. Viansa winery is close by the Infineon Racetrack (Sears point) so there's easy access to Hwy 37 and Hwy 101 for heading home.

This is a dual system and it should be a bolt on trade although the bulkhead and brackets are different shapes. In any case, I've been driving a '65 for many years without any problems in the hydraulics. I even leave the level about a quarter inch low or so and that solves the fluid ruining the paint of the bulkhead issue. The only modification I made was to change the Girling 12.P calipers to the later larger 14.LF front calipers. This is also a bolt on except the backplate needs a trim and the rotors need to be for the Girling 14.LF calipers The reason was availability of rebuild kits and larger pads.

MG only made 2 overdrive units. The D type for 62-67 and the LH type for 68-80. In 1975 they modified the LH type so it only had O/D on fourth gear whereas the earlier LH type has O/D on third and fourth. The earlier ones are the better ones to buy because they also work on third which is great around country roads. There's really no way to check the O/D out before you install it in the car. It either works or it's doesn't. One thing to check before you write the check is the solenoid. This is on the bottom of the unit. When connected to a 12v source you must hear the solenoid click in and out when power is supplied on and off. Otherwise it's pretty much a crap shoot. I've bought 2 O/D sight unseen and they both work great. Unless the Previous owner ran it without oil which is impossible because it uses the same oil as the gearbox it should be OK. To have an O/D rebuilt will cost you more than the original cost. Like everything else that's old you pay your money and take your chance. BTW also have Dennis remove the side inspection cover of the gearbox to have a quick check of the gears, but the gearbox is pretty much bullet proof and normally only the syncros need replacing which is a very straight forward job, (remember which bolt has the rubber washer). Another tech session in the making. I know that Greg is also good at gearbox rebuilds, he's probably done more than me.

MG only made 2 overdrive units. The D type for 62-67 and the LH type for 68-80. In 1975 they modified the LH type so it only had O/D on fourth gear whereas the earlier LH type has O/D on third and fourth. The earlier ones are the better ones to buy because they also work on third which is great around country roads. There's really no way to check the O/D out before you install it in the car. It either works or it's doesn't. One thing to check before you write the check is the solenoid. This is on the bottom of the unit. When connected to a 12v source you must hear the solenoid click in and out when power is supplied on and off. Otherwise it's pretty much a crap shoot. I've bought 2 O/D sight unseen and they both work great. Unless the Previous owner ran it without oil which is impossible because it uses the same oil as the gearbox it should be OK. To have an O/D rebuilt will cost you more than the original cost. Like everything else that's old you pay your money and take your chance. BTW also have Dennis remove the side inspection cover of the gearbox to have a quick check of the gears, but the gearbox is pretty much bullet proof and normally only the syncros need replacing which is a very straight forward job, (remember which bolt has the rubber washer). Another tech session in the making. I know that Greg is also good at gearbox rebuilds, he's probably done more than me.

You really will love OD - especially because it can be made to work in all forward gears if you want, or more commonly, 3rd and 4th. Really cuts the racket and engine wear. Essential for a long trip. I can't remember what the ratio is for MGB ODs, but they are typically from 23-28%, which is significant. Is there an absolute contraindication with this gearbox from an earlier car?

Now he's moving, and I need to dispose of it. It is missing the cylinder head, rear window, and bumpers, otherwise it's complete. The paint (red) is crazed, it's been sitting outside for decades. The interior is toast. If you know of anyone who might need it, it's going cheap! $750 OBO Dawson Church From dawson at authorspublishing.com Fri Jun 27 16:52:14 2008 From: dawson at authorspublishing.com (Dawson Church) Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:52:14 -0700 Subject: [Nobbc] Need Storage for Running Cars Message-ID: Hi All, I need to find storage for several cars. Outside is OK. They run, except for the parts car, and they have covers. Lotus Elite, 1974 Lotus Elite parts car, 1977 Lotus Sprint 1976 MBZ 320 C, 1982 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe I'm hoping to find a club member with a rural property where I can park them out of sight. I'm happy to pay an annual fee, within reason. Again, they're neat and covered, not an eyesore. Please let me know if you have space, or a lead on space. Thanks!
