FFS+1

they rot away inside and can cause brake failure, bits drop off inside and jam up blocking the fluid from moving

nasty nasty, not worth risking second hand, honest

they arent THAT expensive either, nor the wiper arms

[justinbaker]

Fair play you lot, all ordered new from MGOC. Will be with me in the morning!

Ahem only one rear brake flexi on a Midget/MGB.

But yes if one needs doing do all 3. And the rear brake cylinders are keen on developing leaks too.

Hi Oliver

Yeah another brain out of gear moment for me, there were three in the packet when I bought them I now remember

I'll let Justin off with trying to get s/h wiper arm tho' as the new ones slice your fingers to bits

Fitted it yesterday. Silly blue protective cover. Like razors in fact.

I paid £27 for the rear number plate lamp, expecting a bracket,I ended up bodging a mount from alloy, as I cant find the part number, expected this in the assembly.

Came with some very sort wires, that I need to extend into the loom on the LH side. Quite annoying.

Has anyone got one, even to copy, mine its just not right?

Also,

Ended up with two speedo cables, invoiced for two. No-matter as ebay is my friend here!

I don't think they're available new, mine are jubilee clips and something I dare not look or touch them

For correct parts and numbers I find you have to use a permutation of four sources of information

1) Original factory reprinted Parts Catalogue
2) Parts list on CD (I'll get you one if they're in stock next time I'm there)
3) intraweb thingy link http://www.mgocspares.co.uk/acatalog/sec_midget.ht...
4) downloadable clonky thing http://www.mgocspares.co.uk/dload.html

Give these guys a call: http://www.mgbhive.co.uk/ I restored a '66 Midget a few years back and they are very helpful and have second hand bits as well as new.;)
