Upgrade options for the MGB GT V8 weather equipment cover improved wiper specifications, modern washer system upgrades, and enhanced storage protection. Each addresses specific aspects where modern alternatives offer improvements over the original 1970s specifications.
Improved Wiper Systems
Modern wiper blade specifications, silicone wipers, soft-rubber wipers, aerodynamic-design wipers, offer alternatives to the standard rubber blades. The improvements vary depending on the specific specification: silicone wipers offer extended service life, soft-rubber wipers offer quieter operation, aerodynamic designs offer better high-speed performance. The choice depends on the operator's priorities.
Modern Washer Pumps
Modern washer pumps offer improved pressure consistency and longer service life than the original 1970s specifications. They typically use brushless motors or improved brushed motor designs that resist the contamination-related failures of the original pumps. The upgraded pumps fit the original bottles and supply lines without modification.
Enhanced Storage Solutions
Beyond car covers, enhanced storage solutions include dehumidifiers (controlling cabin humidity), tyre savers (preventing flat-spot damage), and battery conditioners (maintaining battery condition during storage). The combination provides comprehensive protection during periods of disuse.
