Roadster Olie , missed a brand new mk1 original would you believe ! looking into whether welding is viable for this car. if I could find a mk1 pull handle shell to replace this one may save a bit of time and lot of money

Ah your after a pull handle.

I recall that shell and the people who reckoned it wasn't worth the cash!

I'd just repair the shell, there isn't much on a B that renders them BER, certainly on anything rare.

I do actually recognise that car, I think it was in one of my mg racing books.

I rather like those front wings, are you going to keep them or get back to original ones?
