1275 top radiator hose alignment

Post by honda90 »

If you want to get the top hose alignment correct on a 1275 you need to fit a thermostat housing from a MGB 1962-67, which work out quite expensive buying from retailers in this country. Have bought a new one from America price £11.03 including P&P! (paypals exchange rate 8 days ago) ebay address of item is http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MGA-MGB- ... enameZWD2V

Good tip. I got mine in the UK from a B-series Marina (thanks to a certain Mr.Harris and a scrapyard)
Over here I'd heard that new ones were unavailable!
