From the tech wiki.
MG Parts---Wiper Pivot Nuts--311-065 Chrome ----Around $3.00 ea. Rubber gskt / Seal 282-820 Around $2.75 ea. Moss Motors 800-235-6954 (I know for a fact these fit a 67.5 as I used them on mine.)

The ignition circuit uses full battery voltage to crank and start the engine but when the key is returned to ON the system operates on a reduced voltage: -

Not really a "tech" question, but wheres a good place to get the tank reinforcement mounting pieces? It looks like fuel-safe will be able to modify my tank to make it FIA legal, so now I just need to properly mount it so nothing funny happens to it

Mike young just released a nice fuel tank bracket that mounts it to the frame instead of the trunk floor to prevent cracking.

Solex air cleaner question. Are the mounting plates on the early (67.5) and later (68-70) air cleaners the same? Can you mount the earlier cap-style outer portion onto a later-style mounting plate?
