HI

can someone tell where i can look for the voltage stabilizer on my 69 mgb.

my gas and temp gauge dont work and i need to test it ( i think)


thanks Ray
 
The only MGB whose gauges I worked on was a '64 so it didn't have the stabilizer... so I can't tell you the exact spot to look. However, I can make a suggestion. If you can see under the dash and/or behind the gauges, find the back of the fuel gauge. One wire should be green/black. The other fuel gauge wire should be a shade of green. Follow that solid green wire back and it should terminate on the "I" terminal of the stabilizer.
 
It is under the drivers side dash, just above and to the left of the rubber firewall grommet. Easy to see once you get your head down on the floor.
 
Your signature picture is a bit large. Good looking car though. I like the racing stripe. :thumbsup:
 
I ~hope~ you aren't driving around on those Michelins in that photo!! :shocked:
 
I don't see wear-bars or bulges and I assume the RF tire's tread is just packed with dirt. What do you see there Dr.?
 
Michelin tire tread pattern which I believe hasn't been available here for YEARS... XZX?

I was concerned over the safety aspect. They are available in England, but haven't been able to find 'em in the States.
 
I think the first tires I bought for my first car were Michelin ZX.

Ray, I sent you a P.M.
 
My concern is genuine.
 
Hey Doug thanks for the new signature


Doc i Do need new tires but I have wire wheels do i need tubes? and any recommendations for tires
you might have are appreciated


Ray
 
New tubes with wires are a good idea.

As for the tyres, check Tire Rack with a search for the appropriate ~available~ current ones. I'm headed toward the Sumitomo ones.
 
If you order the tires from Tire Rack or similar, see if they have the tubes you need and buy them at the same time. When I last needed tubes for wire wheels (on our GT6) I spent the morning calling all over town looking for radial tubes for 13" wheels. I was lucky to find them.

Ray, you're welcome. It only took a couple of minutes to re-size and upload.
 
That's spot on, Doug. The tubes are usually difficult to find. And there IS a "radial" innertube.
