Peter
Nixon is was on the phone today to MGBHive - third time
in three days - ordering up parts for his V8 Roadster conversion
so he could get on with rebuilding his doors. The lady
at MGBHive said it had been crazy dealing with the flood of
orders. They have never been busier as it seems people all had
the same reason - stocking up on replacement parts in case the
Government orders a lockdown when they would have to work on
their V8s.
Peter also needs to get his V8 engine rebored and says
he "needs to sort out who to give the engine rebore to
and then I need to order up the Rimmer SD1 rebuild pack with
Vitesse pistons and a Land Rover 3.9 camshaft - a pelican size
bill"l. Peter is finding it's not so easy finding someone
who can do good rebores - "many of the |
|
really skilled
people used for rebores have retired and some of the new guys
are not quite so up to scratch - something I have heard a
couple of times from local companies. The old skilled people
are dying out".
