righty another day messign around with the blue car I managed to get 1 lower rear bumper bolt out the other was nearly out the the metal cage snapped.
Now I have looked on dialogies and I can't find the bit I need, maybe someone else can help me.
Dialogies has somehtign in the same position that looks worng and theres no way that costs 7 quid either! I have used another thing for the moment but I want the right bit. |

yeah but like I said its a disease, you know its there.
MGB flywheel bolts, theres crash washers with fold over tabs. Horrible design, its far better to use loctite on the bolts and leave the washers off.
Fair enough. But on a concours car, that will niggle away at you until you pull the lump out and do the job the way it was originally done even if that way was crap!
Whilst I was under the back of the blue un doing them, I saw the bubbling paint I ignored it last year, but I prodded it today, its still just surface rust! So a good clean up then use a rattle can on it then underseal it.
Rattle cans ok underneath. |

nope thats not them, 6 and 11 are the bits that are rivetted to the shell just behind the arch and the frontmost tip of the bumper screws into them. |
