Back from very hot holiday in Crete to a rainy August day in the UK. I had intended to spend a while today on the MG, progressing a few jobs, but after an hour, the rain was cleary set in for the day, so I packed up and retreated inside (in mitigation, I only got back at 2:00am last night and with the time difference, our bodies really thought it was 4:00am). I did manage to get one job done today however. I had recently resprayed the demister vents which sit on the dash top, so I decided to fit them today. The vents themselves hold down the vinyl dash top, so fitting this starts the whole dash re-fitting sequence. The vents fitted back easily enough on the original (to my knowledge) vinyl and I then bolted on the crash rail, which is what MG offered as it’s interior safety feature in 1973. Compare that to contemporary cars with their air bags, air curtains and interior padding, its quite a contrast.
