John Moore's Journal

As is often with MG's, nothing is easy! I thought this should be a simple bolt up affair, but ended up taking a day and 1/2! My original front bumper was in horrible shape so I bought a complete bumper kit from Moss. I assembled it on the car and all went well 'cept for the overriders. A 3/8" bolt is supposed to go from the back of the bracket, a spacer, bumper and to the overrider. I could just never make it work. It also appeared the build quality of the overrider was poor and the entry angle of the captive nut was off. After fighting with this for a few hours, I went to an auto parts store and bought a 3/8" stud. This allowed me to put the overrider on from the front and made installation much easier. I'm pleased with the all chrome early overriders. The grille is in the photo just for show. I won't mount it up 'til I finish wiring the head lamps and turn signals.

Next step is to rebuilt the dash. I also need to clean up my door latches as I plan on having them zinc plated.
