[Nobbc] MGA to MGB Front cover

[Mark Darley]

While I am waiting on the head rebuild I thought I would keep going!

I now have the fan and water pump off, and the front end of the  
engine cleaned up.  Now I have got this far how complicated is it to  
fit the MBG front cover to seal my leaks...  I believe I also need to  
fit the appropriate oil thrower ring as well.

Does anyone have an MGB front cover that will do the job?  If not,  
any idea of other sources?

Cheers
