I have a 1976 MGB that i daily drove until the clutch cylinder sprung a leak and poured fluid all over the driverside floor board. Gotta rebuild that one day.

Well, I should have parts for my clutch master cylinder rebuild coming in the mail today, (76 MGB) Wish me luck. I have never bled the clutch on this but it should not be anything out of the ordinary? Got some new points and a condenser as well, just because. I have a set of dual carbs from an earlier MGB GT to replace the Zenith Stromberg that it currently has (I hate you) But I need a new intake and probably exhaust manifold to make them fit. At some point in the last few months the key wont turn the ignition, I think I am just going to pull the tumblers out of it and install a cutoff switch. Anyway, this should be fun, I miss driving this little thing.

British cars are are high maintenance, but I always viewed them kinda like a pocket watch, they need you to keep them running, and it is worth it when you do. Always carry a trunk of spare parts though.

Well there's yer problem.


Clutch master cylinder pulled and there was what looks like gray rtv used as a prior repair. Lucky it lasted as long as I had been driving it.
