The V8 Owners Forum -

I have been tracking my V8 MGB for 15 years now and use wildwood superlite calipers. I have tried many types of pad with interesting results. The best pads by a huge margin I find are Carbotec XP8 / XP10 very expensive but worth every penny. They work from cold with consistent performance time and ...

COOPS!!! Where you been mate? How you doing? Kind of overlooked my promotion from Ged didnt ya. See Monkey Business page 16 if you feel like it. With regard to pads am going to give them a go over the weekend and will see how I feel about them after a good thrashing. Not holding my breath though and...

Thanks guys
Always good to get proper opinions from real world people

Having had a set of Wilwood Superlight calipers and pads on my wagon for the past 7 1/2 seasons I found out that I had worn the disc (brand new at time of caliper and pad fitting ) beacuse the pad was to hard (so the man at EBC said )so I ordered a new set of mentholated discs and some new Yellow St...

Thanks Ged and Muscle Manta Took a while to get where I needed to be but am pleased with the results. Thank you also for the promotion to Sergeant Monkey Face, When I got busted all those years ago thanks to Muscle Manta I have had to walk around with my head bowed in shame before my peers and have ...

Please dont think I am trying to teach you how to suck eggs but please call me before you do the roof repair .
I might be able to save you a ton of materials and time in doing it and also make it stronger than original.

Keep up the good work

cheers

Thanks Guys With regard o selling the housings it had never crossed my mind. The only trouble with doing that would be delivery times and folk would also have to pay for the filters and the tubing which I got very cheap as Muscle Manta brought all three of them back from the states for me a couple o...

Paul Looks fantastic! Now a question based on fluid dynamics. Are you forcing the engine to breathe through the top of the carb filter in the main? Reason I ask, To get air through the side of the main filter it first has to go through another filter. So based on lines of least resistance the top c...

Thanks Chris
Got there in the end !

Hello again all With the show looming I did my absolute best to get the filter housing sorted and fitted to the carb. After getting the glassing done it was a case of sanding back and doing a little more profile work to get things looking good. Following that it was out with the acid etch primer and...

Hi all Not had much time this week but hve managed a little more on the housing. The Crestabond fully cured over a couple of days so it was time to glass the two sections together in a belts and braces mode. Only one layer of laminate has been applied but it does tie the two halves together totally....

Impressive mate
Can just about turn my computer on let alone do a drawing on it
Cad design is very very cool but way beyond me
Excellent stuff

Good grief A double dose in one evening After making sure that I was happy with the fit of both sections for the last time I masking taped the two bits together to hold them when I applied the boding agent. http://i1073.photobucket.com/albums/w397/grpservicesplymouth/ais128_zpsbbbaynke.jpg http://i1...

You drew that
How the hell do you do that?
Car is looking awesome Mark you gotta be pleased.

Using the lounge as a workshop pretty cool too although not sure that Mrs G would be happy for me to use our lounge for car stuff

Keep up the good work
