I would swear it is not compatible with the 97 mk1

VJSantos created a new topic ' Catalytic nightmare' in the forum. yesterday

As I imagine you already know, the much-feared catalyst is giving me problems.
At the moment it is just a very annoying metallic noise.
It is quite difficult to find a second-hand one in Spain (and the few that exist are around €200-250)
Has anyone drained the catalytic converter and if so, have they had problems with the MOT?

So its main job is to give strength to the chassis, right?
If they are a few centimeters shorter, shouldn't there be a problem?
I'm even thinking about using a completely flat, but thicker plate.

Hello, everyone!
Is there any known alternative for the sheet metal panel under the chassis?
From what I saw, it doesn't protect anything in particular, but it constantly scrapes the floor when entering the garage.
In the medium term I will fix the garage entrance, but I am considering disassembling the piece and sending it to my trusted blacksmith to make this lower piece.
Some experience?

Vi más complicado sacar el centro "exacto" de la rueda.
Dado que la tapa del buje es de 42-44 mm. 32+22 mm es la medida que me comentas, alante le he dado 1cm más. 
Sigo teniendo el problema con la estabilizadora, está clavada en los soportes de la suspensión.

Very good to all colleagues!
I keep getting details out of my 97 MG F.
Mike Satur's suspension was 35 cm in front and 31 cm in the rear (from the wheel arch to the bottom of the hub)
I have already left it at 35-34 front-rear.
I still have problems with the rear stabilizer bar (photos attached). I think it is mounted incorrectly on the rear supports. I'll check it again tomorrow.
The gas gauge still doesn't work (I've checked the trunk shut-off switch) and I suspect it's the gauge.
I will keep you updat ed!!!

I will check everything as you told me. 
The fuel gauge doesn't move. Anything.
At first, 6 liters, doesn't move. I think it's not enough. 
But with the next 15 liters, not any movements.
Maybe, the fuel meter inside the tank, in the last 4 years that's been parked, it's stuck.
Hope it auto fix it in the next recharges!!

First 100km...i really love it!!!
When I've arrived home, I've a few failures:
First, when I turned off, the car doesn't start again. Electric OK, but doesn't sound anything on the starter (I will try to reach it and see what fails)
Second, the fuel gauge doesn't moves, and the low fuel light doesn't turn in. 
Third, the speedometer shakes until 50-60 km/h only on that range...
And four (at the moment) the rear suspension (from Mike Satur) sounds metallic, I suppose I will fix it with grease.
I will upgrading the post!!!
