MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Cosworth Midget

Guys,

I have just got the shell back after the trial fitting of the cosworth engine and type 9 gearbox, all looks good so far but will need a small bonnet bulge.

The plan now is to weld the engine mounts in the final position with the dummy engine and then i plan to start to build up on the car anything that I may need to modify the shell for before i strip it for paint.

Colour will probably be healey ice blue.

Thanks
Andy

Is the engine the YBF and will you be using it normally aspirated or turbo-charged?

Greybeard,

thanks appreciate your comments, it did take a few long days !!

Looks a bit fuller with the other shell in it now !

Andy, speak with Will Corry

If you haven't totally committed to the YB, i believe he has the perfect engine for you (i believe it will use any existing mounts for the YB)
