Is there a name for chrome strip that goes on the bonnet when using the recessed grill? Where can I get it? Do any other grills cover the front of the bonnet like this?
Pic of the grill im on about:
Im running twin SU HIF carbs which have overflow pipes. Originally they had some nasty rusty pipes running from the carbs to the bottom of the engine. Is there a nicer look alternative to this? I was thinking of running some rubber pipes from the carbs to an old washer bottle (or something similar).
Lastly can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to painting. I intended on buying an air compressor and spray gun to do a few little bits and don't know where to start.
The chrome strip is called the "hood front edge finisher". Its available thru Moss or VB...check with your distributor for pricing (& if you don't have a distributor from whom you order, PM me).
On the MGB, only the recessed grille covers the front edge of the hood with a chrome finisher.
Skip the washer bottle part...that drain tube is to let overflows run down away from the hot engine parts. Capturing it in a container will only create a fire or explosion hazard. Let it run to the ground. You will know if it is over flowing when you smell gas when the carbs flood.
