Curt worked throughout the day on Fred M's MGC, mostly on the gearbox and overdrive. We found an extra O ring in the oil pressure relief valve and a set of stripped gears for the speedometer drive.
Casey worked on several bench jobs that arrived yesterday in the UPS, but both the clutch and brake master cylinders were too rusty (pitted bores) to rebuild. He moved a TD onto his hoist to fit the new rings and pistons, but there was still a problem with the ring end gap, so that's on hold until later on Friday.
John finished the tune on a 1977 MGB and repaired the door latch. One of the screws had stripped out so he fitted a heli-coil to the weldnut -- then adjusted the outside door handle as well as the inside door handle so that the driver could more easily exit the vehicle! Then he finished the tune on a 1962 MGA which just received a cylinder head. The exhaust also needed attention as the rear muffler was rubbing a hole in the gasoline tank rolled edge! Later in the day he put a 1974 MGB onto the hoist to attend to the tune -- as the points had closed up.
Casey also spent a little time with a red Sunbeam Alpine, working through a slow starter problem; and our high school boys serviced the battery on a green Alpine. This is probably the first time we've had two Alpines in the shop at the same time.
John and Ken returned to John's house early in the day to retrieve John's 1962 Mark II Deluxe so that he could get the oil changed and get it prepared for a winter's storage. This picture is not from today -- it's far too green for that!
