Marcos Maniacs

-Thanks Paul,
        The interior handles are the lever type with a .375" square 
reciever hole for the shaft.
    Does it matter what year of MGB you get the door handles and boot 
release from?
    I have fitted 4 dual downdraft webers to my 3.5 Rover, I had to 
lower the engine in the chassis by 1" which necessitated a custom flat
bottom sump and also had to machine the ram tubes but I do have about 
an inch of clearance now between the hood and the top of the ram tubes
   I don't know how much airflow I will get to the carbs though I 
might have to come up with an air induction set-up maybe.
 Cheers Dave #5577
