I was surprised when I started to work on my car that a number of the nuts and bolts had been replaced by non-original ones. Many of them are hexagon heads when clearly, on an MG, they should all be octagonal.
I have therefore commissioned my local machine shop to manufacture a set of BSF nuts and bolts with octagon heads. They will use the same spanner sizes as the incorrect hexagonal equivalents.
Please contact me if you would like to add to my order. Make sure that your pre-war MG has authentic octagonal fasteners!

Due to my lack of knowledge of the marque I have obviously been a victim of stupidity, I stopped this April 1st thing when I was an adolescent.
