MG TD TF 1500 - Which is the best site to ask a MGB question?

Good afternoon everyone.
Got the insurance question answered, now on to the work on the MGB GT. which site is the best to ask questions for the MGB. This MG-BBS or The MG Experience. I know that others have both cars and post on both. Also the TD/TF board is the most active. My questions on the MGB GT is I cant get the top off the brake master cylinder and the drivers seat hits the trans. tunnel and wont go any further forward enough to use the brake, clutch and gas petals. Are the seats left and right inter changeable. I'm going to post this on the MGB site also.
Thanks in advance. John

The MGEXP site is very active for the B, with a lot of expertise, plus a fair dose of BS!

You need to state the year of the GT as it had several different master cylinders. If it is the big round one from 68-74 or so..the a large pair of plumbers pliers (channel locks ) should free it up. The seats are handed but the problem is usually from lack of use / lubrication and collapsed wood spacers that sit underneath the slide rails. The MGE site is a good tool, but there are several B owners right here that would be happy to help I'm sure.

Thanks LaVerne
I was hoping you would be one of the ones that answered.Its a 1968. Beautiful 10 foot car? Is the M/C plastic cover screwed on or pops on? It appears to be all chewed up with channel lock marks. The drivers seat and the passenger seat are they interchangeable left and right. or dose it matter, each could be used on either side? Could you email me with your email address. mine is mgtd3atmsndotcom
Thanks John.

The cap is screwed on...I'll send you my email but I'm heading out soon to go load a TF on a transport truck to California.


The seats are handed and since you have a 68 you have the same seat frames that I have in my car.
