But the bonnet ones would I hope help cool the oil tank , so giving a welcome cooling effect to the engine which for an air cooled engine is a major plus of course.


I was thinking that as well but in looking at the location of the louvers compared to the location of the oil tank itself, I'm not sure if they would aid in that too terribly much. It seems like positioned further back would have extra effect. I have to imagine that as far as oil tank cooling, unless the bonnet seals up tight to the body, that there's enough air gap there to serve that purpose.

Though admittedly I do have a strong desire to either switch it out to one of those nice looking aluminum tanks from Moon, or one of the glass ended ones, I really like the way those look, and you have quick reference to how the oil looks.


With regard to the three eared, with it being categorized as a motorcycle, I don't even think it's something they look at. And I've seen MG/MGB here after the funky '68 safety nonsense with two and three eared on them that pass inspection each time. So it's probably a hand full of don't know and another hand full of don't care.

And yes, I may end up regretting the maintenance of those ivory wheels, but I think they'll look amazing. A low dust brake pad should help a lot with that as well though since that's where the majority of dust would be from anyway.

I already have to clean the spokes on the MGB, and even my Honda gets a bunch of dust on it cause of the aggressive pads I'm using. So I'm a bit used to it =\

The footwell storage box I think will be quite convenient, though I wish they had a different option for the door on it. I hate that funky diamond plate looking stuff. For under the bonnet I definitely plan on just building my own. Whether it's fiberglass or formed metal. Either way it'll be something a lot more form fitted to that area and have dividers for common tools, hammer/knock-off wrench, and various bits and bobs.

Oh, and congrats on the 5000 Miles so far Ken. Have you detailed any issues/concerns in your own thread about what you've experienced so far? If so I'll need to check that out. I've read up on you insulating, sealing various things, but if you have any choice commentary on it so far I'd love to hear.


Nothing new. She's just freaking joyous and reliable. Nothing even coming loose. BB is quiet as well. And I'm thrilled with stock shocks, stock exhaust... even the Avons which look to be good for another 5,000. Then I'll go to Cokers.

Perfect, that is what I love to hear. That's pretty decent on the Avons as well. Does Coker actually sell a tire in our size? I recall from browing their site checking for options here in the states that the only thing that popped up for 4.00-19 were actually firestones. I know they have those E70K tires but those are even narrower than stock.

I know it's a UK source but just fitted Coker Excelsiors from here which should answer your queries.
