Just got the newest CM & enjoyed the comparison of new classics to old ones. However the repeated references to the MGb's 'heavy steering bothered me. The MGB was designed for bias ply tires & as such the higher slip angles of bias ply tires require a large castor angle (5 to 7 degrees). This is unnecessary with modern radial tires & is a major cause of steering effort. Add wider rims & tires plus a reduced diameter steering wheel & Surprise! Surprise! It's hard to steer @ low speed. As eartly as the 70s Costello was marketing a shim kit to reduce castor & thus steering effort. Currently Moss markets aluminum shims a la Costello & Alan Tucker @ British Sports Car Repair 7176321778 markets plastic shims @ about 1/5 the price. Alan's kit allows my not very large or strong wife to autocross our B/Gt with 6' rims & 195/60 sticky tires using a 'Fatman's steering wheel w/o problem. I highly recommend it. Alex
