All good from my end!
Apart from the steering being a little heavy at parking speeds, the car is a joy to drive. I'm running 255 series tyres up front and they seem to suit the requirements of the Fast steering perfectly. Initially I wondered at the wisdom of proceeding with this modification seeing that a lot of Arntz owners have chosen to keep the original MGB front end without encountering any major troubles, but I'm now very content that I made the correct decision to jettison the heavier BMC product. Whether it makes any difference I don't know, but I also changed out the original heavy radiator which was developing a series of leaks and replaced it with a lighter alloy version.
After a couple of years the car started to develop creaking noises from the front. All the bolts needed to be tightened, some considerably, and the problem was fixed but a regular inspection of front end bolts is now on the calendar.
