looking really clean under there. I'm waiting for my next mg to be delivered this week, not as clean as yours.
Thanks Jonny - looking forward to pictures of your new F!

Tidy.
I haven't seen the conclusion, is the relocated servo working better?
Thanks James.
Regarding the question on relocation, I would have to say that the impact it has had in combination with a servo brace is not worth the effort on its own. It was worth a go - and is the modification that was performed for all the MG Cup racers. You can get a better result with other bracing - which I have done on project Shed, although the plan is still to relocate the master cylinder/servo (if retained) on that car as this offers the potential for more weight saving and simplification.
In combination with other modifications and bracing, this may ultimately work better - but the additional bracing I have used on Project Shed is harder on a road car with HVAC and other dashboard functions installed...

It passed!
Looking at the test certificate a bunch of lights that were working fine decided to not work for the first test: bizarre!!!
(I wonder if one of the multi-plugs on the fuse box was loose? I have had that on Project Shed when I rebuilt that...)

Nice one
The centre brake light and one front fog light stopped working on my kids mini between home and the mot station 4 miles away. Always the way.

It was the fuse box multiconnector!
Something for everyone to look out for when recommissioning an old wiring loom!

Good work Rob.
Many thanks
Looking forward to some nice roof down drives! Still a few jobs to do - including re-setting the tacking, brake line replacement, BG developments floating rotors to fit, heated seat project and perhaps the installation of the amplifier I bought over 15 years ago!!!
