No problem, as it happened I did myself a favour when I found those bulb holders...the ebay seller also had some bitß I've been looking for for ages. If I hadn't looked your lights up, I'd never have found them, 'cos the description was a bit vague!

There are some on ebay, right hand. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-mg...UAAOSwZ5Ra2d79. and left hand https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Austin-mg...item4b41455674...

Thought these might be interesting / useful to anyone checking the original spec of their vehicle. vin1 is maestro to '86, vin 2 is '86 on, Montego ones are to '86, '86'88, '88on....

Annoying that they did a good job of the welding work, then spoiled things by creating extra work......

These are often wrongly listed as being car ones, or vice versa, the original part numbers are GBD90821, GBD90812, NAM4157, GBD90808, there are 4 fixing holes on a 4" (101.6mm, often mistakenly listed as 102mm!) which are tapped m10. Ferodo DDF282 is listed as fitting cars, but is in fact a van...

As Jeff says, it sounds as though it could be something relatively simple, it might be worth trying to find a garage/mechanic that is more familiar with more 'modern' SU carbs. Most mechanics that learned their trade after the mid 1990's won't be too interested in carburettors and the 'vintage' mechanics...
