MOT Questions

[ChasR]

The MGB Needs its glass, interior and front bushes refitting/replacing along with a little welding on the floorpan. In the future I plan to repair/replace the floorpan using a new BMIH panel, but for now I want the car running instead of doing nothing on the driveway.

Currently the dilemna I face is the floorpan. Although the majority of it is solid it has been patched up twice in the past. One of the patches however was welded from inside the car meaning that it looks like the pan is holed when it is not. Is this an MOT failure and need welding up on the other side, or should it be fine?

Cheers

it should be fine. i just put a new drivers floor in the mk1 & the passenger one only had one bad spot where it was plated underneath & not cut out so still manky on top. i cut that plate out & butt welded another into smarten it up a bit. can you not pull the carpet or that back so the tester can see the plate inside before he starts poking it from underneath??

Underseal from the bottom, apply it thick over this section.

I fitted the BMHI pans to mine and they are Sh!t, they don't fit, are usually thinner steel than the originals. There is a place in worksop which create their own now, which are much better but a bit more expensive.

Cheers guys I'll probably underseal it incase the tester gets a bit arsy .

Cheers for the heads up on the panels BGT7476, it has hopefully saved me some trouble in the future ;D.

BTW are you running a Webber 45 on yours? Reckon the performance difference is worth it?
