Looking for recommendations for a forum similar to The Samba for the British MG B.
I have a 1974 MG B that I'd like to try to get running again. |

ente_kaefer, I've been an LBC (little British car) owner long before VW. I actually love them both almost equally. Starting as a teen and MGB owner then Triumph, Bugeye Sprites and currently a Spridget owner for the last 18 years. I am usually on the Sprite forum of this large site below. You'll be comfortable there.
Safety Fast,
The MG Experience

As said above.
You will note lots of posts might be years old, but still valid info. Suppliers change though.
Moss is huge, I use British Parts Northwest often.
Our local shop up and moved to Maine, Abingdon Spares.

ente_kaefer, if you are rebuilding your carburetors like I am Joe Curto is the best for parts and support, www.joecurto.com. I was lucky to find a hi resolution exploded view for my SU HS carbs which along with my kit from Joe it should be an easy rebuild.

The mgbexperience.com is similar (but not as good) as the samba. I used to be a regular. I have a 73 bgt.
