Thanks, but it was a bit ropey just a few weeks ago....
There's also a leak from both carb fuel bowls/feed pipe which I thought I'd sorted 'on the bench'. This is an old pipe - just like the new - neither have a lip or similar for the fastening nut to clamp to, so they can be just pulled out . I'm sure I must be missing something:

The new ones need rubber rings both sides of them, the old ones you had don't. The new ones are more like the OE ones from back in the day, but TBH I prefer the type you had on it.
Yes, you are missing a rubber O ring that fits over the end of the tube, and as it is squeezed from the nut, it provides the seal.
Check if the old ones are stuck in the bowls' inlet.
Was that black rotor arm arcing on the inside Phil? This guy is amazing, not Rover. D3Sshooter
But he has a V8 MGB.
Are you sure you weren't putting the new cap on 180 degrees out? They rotate a bit when you do that...
I have bought all the service items from a P6 supplier & the kit includes the following air filters, as compared to the originals (the new one is at the bottom):
Will these be better or worse than the old ones? They tear easily.... :
