Rusty Bits.

[peterzs]

After its last MOT I had three advisories.

1) rust near the n/s front suspension fixing points, but not dangerous.

2 & 3 ) Front n/s and o/s jacling points rusty but not dangerous.

Up on stands and wire brushed it all off and rust killer then POR 15.

Might be worth jacking yours up and have a quick check, less its part of your service checks.

The jacking points is due to poor design, muck builds up at the ends of the skirts and has nowhere to drain

Check mine all the time, just to catch any spots early.........................

Sounds very minor in all Peter not bad for a MK2

I Used to play around with MGB GT's and they rust away as you look at them.

Got a mobile welder in to have a look, he said just wire brush and rust proof it. If it needed a patch he said £50. but he was a decent guy and didnt push for the work.

Hope you had a good Birthday, day, Luke.

My mk2 has gone in today, I know it's a bit crusty around that area aswell , I'm now waiting like I'm having a baby lol

Good Luck Loz.

Now I'm a expert on it, ask away if you have any bad news.

Hope its all OK.

I had to get one of the jacking point welded up last year and has an advisory on the other.the car is still in my garage for the winter so will have to see what's what when I drag it out for the summer and mot it.
