Driving my Vitesse have no issues with heating issues . However in queues the gauge creeps up and one time queuing for 20 mins the gauge went to 115, the outside temp was in the mid 20’s c . For peace of mind if caught on motorways , dual carriageways etc considering a fan with a manual switch for these situations . Does a fan impede the airflow , effectiveness of the rad ? What size , make would suit . Your opinions appreciated . Paul

Could it be an overdrive relay ? Paul

Hi Badwolf if we are talking about the same draught excluder have to disagree as the adhesive tape is useless . I remove the tape and use contact glue . Works for me Paul

If you use draft excluder , peel off the self adhesive tape ( bit of a faf to get it off ) then seal with good contact glue like Bostik Paul

I’ll pass on this but will gladly advise on what is required , costing and how to’s and more important avoiding mistakes I made . For the headliner you will need access to a sewing machine . I used one of the old Singer machines which worked fine . Your access hole is approx 30” x 30” ? Paul

Already started on the next one for my son and his MGB GT. This will be a challenge as it doesn’t have a sunroof at present . What’s the best tool to cut the roof ? Paul

Finally finished a new replacement sunroof and headlining . First one I’ve done and pleased with the result. If anybody needs any guidance more than happy to post how to do’s . This will ensure you don’t make every mistake known to man as I’ve got the T shirts . The headlining came from Pete Lewis . Paul

I’ve got one you could borrow should you need it , I’m at Bury St Edmunds 1hr away Paul

Mine doesn’t leak , though just replacing the vinyl roof lining and headlining . The original was starting to crack at the rear edges. Did a trial fit today and all ok . Hope to have it completed soon . They come up on EBay regularly sometimes going for silly money , depends on condition, the size you want is 34” x 34” . If you want to pursue the idea let me know as I’m also restoring and fitting one for my son who has an MGB GT Paul

With a sunroof you get the best of both worlds Paul

And if the budget allows go for an overdrive box makes for easier cruising Paul
