Annoying MGB Seatbelts
Today I may have a solution to the annoying seatbelts in the later model MGBs. I also have some American contraband in my garage.

SU Carburetors – Send them out or rebuild them yourself?
SU carburetors have been popular since the end of World War II. Although they were used widely before the war, the increased production required by the conflict made their products less expensive and more suitable to postwar automobiles. So today the SU carb can be found on MG, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Alvis, and many other makes from the late 1940’s all the way to the 1980’s-literally millions of them. And like any other device or component, they age and wear out in service.
Land Rover Series 1, 88 Basic – Grant van Leyen – Merrickville European Classic Car Show
Apparently, it is rough ride, but always gets you there. Grant tells us about his Land Rover that he has owned since 2011.
Triumph TR4 – Terry Ledden – Merrickville European Classic Car Show 2022
The Triumph TR4 is a sports car produced by the Triumph Motor Company from 1961 to 1965. As the successor to the TR3A, the car was based on the chassis and drivetrain of the previous TR sports cars, but with a modern body designed by Michelotti.
Westfield SE Pre-Litigation – Pete Agnew – Merrickville European Classic Car Show
Lotus? Not! It’s a Pre-Litigation Westfield SE. Pete has owned this car since 2018 and drives it to most of the local shows.
Jaguar E-Type 2+2 – David Kenny – Merrickville European Classic Car Show 2022
David Kenny was an aerospace engineer and upon his retirement, he purchased such a car and restored it to a beautiful daily runner. I cannot say that I am not jealous, because I really am! In my opinion, this was the most beautiful car at the show.
MGB Brakes – Part 3 Installation of EBC Pads and Rotors, Rebuilt Calipers and Dust Cover
I had a few issues during this install of the EBC brakes and rebuilt calipers. The biggest issue is that the company who rebuilt my calipers put in the wrong size seals, and they leaked. Like everywhere! So here I was on a Thursday morning with new brakes but leaky calipers. I could not go anywhere, even if I had a special place to be.
EBC Brakes – MGB
I must say that these are the BEST brakes ever for an MGB! They’re biting power far exceeds anything I have ever put on the MGB.
The bad news, which is not really that bad, is their Black Geomet and Nitrotherm anti-corrosive finish on the rotors in the area where the pads touch. Simply said, I’m not a fan of this. Here is why…
OMGC – Fall Colour Run 2022
The run took us though some lovely countryside, farms, lakes, rivers and of course, coloured leaves.
Upon arriving at the host’s home (Jordan and Sarah), the cars lined up proudly for photo shoots and such. It was an impressive show of these wonderful Tiny British Sports Cars.
Serpentine Run – Montreal MG Car Club
I also went on the Ottawa Leaf run on Sunday with the Ottawa MG Club (which was also lovely), but if I had to choose between one or the other, it would be the Serpentine Run, hands down!
