Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / 15" Wheels

« on: February 12, 2014, 08:37:32 »

I had bronze spinners made for me, but I didn't keep them ... Although it is a very good material (doesn't size on hubs, and it "absorbs" hammer hits very well), they're damn heavy !

« on: February 12, 2014, 08:02:31 »

Hi BBK,
   
   I understand that, but my car is US spec (sold in berverly hills), and I have both cobras ... Jim, I assume it was already like that when was yours ?
   
   do you a picture of your sill plates ? I do not have any engraved ones !
   
   PS: carbureted engine IMPLIES twin exhaust pipes on one side...

I was there ... A very interesting (and long !)  auction , with the famous talent of Hervé Poulain (also creator of the Art Cars), who was celebrating his 40 years as an auctioneer !

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / MKIV (with some AKL features) for sale

« on: February 05, 2014, 20:41:50 »

Yep, but going this route, the only very specific MKIV features were longer cockpit, doors reinforcement and telescopic bumpers ! I assume all the others items/ modifications  were available, as options or special order, weren't they ?

ok... it wasn't in the specifications, but available as options [] ! to me, a "standard" MKIV (as far as it has ever existed !) is a kind of 427 street version (or AC289 without wire wheels), ie underbody exhausts, no hood scoop, no roll bar, chrome bumpers,  etc...

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / rack and pinion

« on: February 01, 2014, 11:37:23 »

My understanding it is a genuine MGB rack, but with hexagonal part added between rack and track rod ends to cope with the larger front track, but I also remember that another reference for the rack was mentioned in the part list we already talked about here...
