Bodyshell MGB Roadster V8 Chrome Bumper Supersports

MGBV8 Chrome Bumper Body Shell with MGRV8 style modifications. Our exclusive bodyshell is based on a rubber bumper MGB Roadster bodyshell with a Chrome Bumper outer; however in the early design phase we had discussions with British Motor Heritage to achieve a professional MGB Roadster V8 conversion which was significantly different to Heritage's own version. This specification is exclusive to MGOC Spares and constitutes a bodyshell which provides the additional structural integrity required for performance V8 projects. The modifications are aimed to facilitate ease of V8 powertrain and results in a car with sound handling characteristics. In total there are 20 bodyshell modifications, with the main alterations summarised as follows: • Gearbox tunnel modifications to accept LT77 & R380 Gearboxes • Relocation of the G/Box cross member • Inner wing flitches cut and reinforced to accept MGRV8 style exhaust headers (B052A) • Bonnet Cross Brace Reinforcement repositioned to allow clearance of low rider air filter if using Edelbrock 414 and Offenhauser 360 4 Barrel Inlet Manifold (G008) • Modified bulkhead to suit late MGB Rubber Bumper (1977on) dual/tandem braking system (GMC164) with in-line brake servo (BAU1016) • Rubber< Bumper Steering Column mountings • Rubber Bumper/V8 engine mounting location • Anti Tramp Bar brackets as found on MGRV8 • Single twelve-volt battery compartment • V8 Radiator Diaphragm • Valance to accommodate Supersport twin Exhaust System (B158) Bodyshells are manufactured to order, please call our sales team for more information +44 (0) 1954 230928.
