MGV8 a slight relation But i feel i need to help the owner !

[Pasco]

Unfortunately for me i was unable to persuade my Boss to buy a Griff a couple of years ago and having recently slagged him off about this, as i generally do, he said it was because my car was way too loud and that is what put him off TVR !! Opps So he goes and buys a 4.0ltr MGBV8 built in the mid nineties if i recall

Anyway he has asked me if i could help him out on a problem he has

He is looking far a drawing that shows the route of the bonnet release cable and any associated information that may help him in replacing the broken one

Any help would be most appreciated especial by this Thursday as i have a meeting with him that day

Edit to add i have had a look around the usual places but was unable to find anything that might help him so i am hoping Spendy and the other die hard RV8 fellas might be able to help me

On an MGB you just push your fingers through the rust and pull the cable out

Just imagine Pasco in the middle of the office making 'parp paaarrrpppp parp parp' noises at the top of his voice

Might be worth trying MG Mecca as they always have a few for sale and know the model very well - 01953 717618

Don't know if they still exist, but Brown & Gammons in Baldock Herts were the local MG restorers/ experts.

There may be an obvious answer to this that I just can't see... but why post this question on here... I would have thought the MG site would be better??

How did i miss that i did look but unfortunately did not notice the MG forum thanks for pointing it out to me as that is the place i would have posted this topic and saved myself the usual Crap that i received as replies

Cheers JohnnyP and S3DaveP for serious replies most kind

Someone here would have spotted it on any forum I'm sure....

Just when you thought you might be safe outside the TVR sections

Try the MG V8 register

I have an RV8 and have worked on quite a few. It runs through the firewall and then along the passenger's side wing bolts in the bonnet channel and then curles in to the centre of the slam panel.
