    Welcome to newsletter number 108 for February and March 2003 -N-ew -Members lan-Ripley 334 Farm Street Mk 11 Ute 9749285286 North Rockhampton OLD 4701 Seebluefde Ian Comport Box 2100 Brighton Rally mk 1, mk 1 sedan, 3 utes 0419352199 Vrc3186 Dear Daryl, It has been some time since I have been actively involved in any club. Now that I am getting the Utes back out and have rebuilt the rally car motor and in the midsts of getting it fixed up I thought it was well over due that I join again. I would li ke to rejoin the club as well as obtain the BMC and X6 plus the second edition and also purchase the bulletins. So I have it all. Hopefully the $65.00 is enough. As you will read the fleet has changed as I now have three utes in varying degrees of decay. Where the rally car is concerned I have been experimenting with extractor sets ups and varying carby set ups including; twin 1 3;4 inch S.Us, single 2 inch S.Us, twin 2 inch S.Us and 45 DCOE webbers. I also have a 48 IDA webber set up but that sticks up past the bonnet. Right now I am looking at the suspension set up as the car has big bags on all corners, anti sway bar on the rear, aeon bump stops all round and some reinforcing. I am looking at renewing the suspension as the rubber aeons are getting worn and tired and the front is sitting a bit low.

If that is what you are after, then obtain 'M.G. by McComb', 'Magic of the Marque', 'McComb, Maintaining the Breed', all by F. Wilson McComb; 'Tuning and Maintenance of MG's' by Phillip H. Smith; 'The Magic of MG' , 'MG, Magic of the Marque' by Mike Allison; and 'MG The Untold Story' by David Knowles. Once you have absorbed these, you are an 'expert'. This book is a collection of information and stories I have collected over about 20 years, with obvious reference to MG history books.
