Steering, Suspension, & Brakes / Re: ABS Brakes anyone?
Last post by BlownMGB-V8 - October 27, 2026, 02:04:48 PMThe more I think about this, and get input from others, the more I think the brake booster is the main thing and the ABS might be almost completely unnecessary.
I won't really be able to form an opinion of course until I have the booster installed but that should go relatively quickly once I have the parts in hand.

Classified Ads: Swap Parts Here! / Re: Looking for manual transmi...
Last post by hamondale - October 27, 2026, 08:50:46 AMHi Buttler, this would be in the shared knowledge but no parts category. For an example of a narrowed rear end in a Sprite, you can scroll down a ways at
https://www.britishv8.org/Other/JohnHammond.htm
One thing I would point out is no matter what heavier duty rear end you choose, your drive shaft will likely be too short to set the pinion and transmission shaft parallel. The U-joint angles will be too steep. In my setup, the pinion is sloped up with just a 1 degree angle so the U-joint bearings move, and I have a CV joint in front. Driveshaft custom made to fit.
Good luck with the project.

Last post by Buttler - October 27, 2026, 03:40:59 AMWant to buy a narrowed rear axle and manual transmission for my -69 Austin-healey sprite (rover V8).
It already has a rover V8 and automatic transmission with austin's stock rear axle in it.
I just got my car 1 month ago so i am quite new with the subject. Planning on making the swap this winter.
So even if you don't have the parts but you have needed information, please share your knowledge
Thank you,
Buttler, Finland

Last post by Gswest236 - October 26, 2026, 08:51:00 PMQuick update; I'll be redoing the MSD wires in an effort to remedy the fuse blowing situation. It's blowing the fuse at the battery that feeds the MSD box. Still no power to the fuse block. I have a guy coming by in a few days to give some input. Maybe I crossed a couple of wires, maybe a mouse chewed a wire somewhere.

Classified Ads: Swap Parts Here! / Re: wanted late mgb pedal box
Last post by gonzosal - October 25, 2026, 04:44:26 PMHey Jim, are you looking for the firewall or the pedal box with pedals and bushings. I have both that I have removed from a couple of parts cars. I think for my 70 GT conversion I will only be modifying a portion of the firewall. I am planning on doing a dual line MC. Might want to pick your brain on modifying the R&P to place the pinion where I need it.
