David Terry's Journal

I have been slowly replacing odds and ends on my MGB over the course of the last year. Since I have every other Friday off, that's when I typically try to get those tasks completed. I had originally planned on replacing the front disk pads and had acquired some new pads and hardware from the Bhive. The car had other ideas. Last Sunday, the fuel pump gave up the ghost. So, I spent the week acquiring a new Facet pump and hardware from NAPA. After shipping the kids off to school this morning, I jacked up the rear end and started in. Vascular clamps are really handy when it comes to fuel lines. I never got wet. Two hours later, I had my new pump installed and ready to go. Thirty minutes after that, I had new front disk pads installed.

Two final comments: I purchased the organic brake pads from Gordon at the Bhive. They're made in Canada and I'm happy to keep some money on the North American continent whenever I can. And also thanks to Kevin Profitt for helping to diagnose my dying fuel pump.

Time to go for a drive.
