Maybe it depends on what you mean by "road", and whether you're looking for early vintage or modern racing. How about the ultimate vintage racer restoration, Sebring MGA #43? http://safetyfast.homest

These are all the same parts as used in the MGA gearbox, and I've never had a problem with it. The bronze bushings for 2nd/3rd gears are usually pretty snug on the shaft, but not so's you couldn't en

That must have been a nice trick. I thought the pipe would hit the top edge of the engine block. Lucky you. Bigger wrench. The steel adapter fitting has a 1-1/8" wrench hex. The big brass nut is a li

Yes. A length of threaded rod and some jam nuts works nicely. Tighten the front first, and then snug the rear nuts up against the bracket just to keep the rod from vibrating around. Not likely. If it

You might have to use a large ViceGrip to clamp that wrench onto the nut to avoid breaaking the wrench end. That is exactly the technique I use for very stubborn flare nuts with slightly rounded corn
