The seats on my car (Fiberfab ?) are fixed with a fiberglass seat pan or support fixed to the floor with the seat hinged at the front to make a small storage area underneath. I suppose that could be modified to install a sliding seat but I really don’t want to get any closer to the steering wheel.I may be able to adjust the clutch pedal for less…[Read more]

My seat has a set of adjustment rails. They look like old VW seat rails attached to the seat tub and the pan. This allows the seat to be adjusted for Mrs Wobby or myself.   Also the back of my seat has a marine slide bar so I can make the back more upright. I think I have pictures of back of seat in photos.  If needed I will pull seat and post pi…[Read more]

fantastic job from mp lafer owner

The pedals are at the same height. Everything moves and feels normal, I will clean everything, etc. The problem is the way these cars are built using the VW pan, the pedal assembly is much further away, the seat is farther back, the windshield and steering wheel are farther back, than in a stock VW, so the pedals are farther to reach. If I was 6’…[Read more]

 
How about the redneck equivalent of a phone book? A block of wood with a couple of straps on the back to clamp around each side of the clutch pedal? Some kind of rubber might be better for traction.
Before you spend too much time on treating the symptom, you should look at the pedal assembly. The brake and clutch pedals should be at the same h…[Read more]

Thanks for your input BDriver, but I don’t think the clutch is out of adjustment, I just think the pedal is too far way. I am going to have some engine work done, and will check the adjustment etc. with the car up on the lift, that should be a lot easier than crawling underneath.There is no play in the steering wheel, the steering is pretty…[Read more]

 
VW brake and clutch pedals are at the same height. If you feel that the clutch is farther away than the brake then the clutch engagement point may be lower than the brake engagement point. If so, you need to adjust your clutch. There should be 1/2″ – 3/4″ of freeplay at the top of the clutch pedal. That’s the slack before the clutch starts to mo…[Read more]

1/8″ Masonite (I believe that’s what they call it. I wasn’t going to waste a nice piece of Plexi. If it would of worked I would of bought some 1/4″ Smoked Plexi.

 
You can tell that I’m hooked.
The parts explosion would make good wall art.

Screen or solid plexi?

I made a prototype of the air deflector shown in “BDrivers” post above. I tried it at 14′” above the back of the seat, then at 12″ above the back seat and then removed it and found no difference. My wife didn’t notice any difference either.

Ok got my pictures to work now. If you go to my pic. at (ray10) so that you can see where the back is screwed down to.
I Have posted there pictures of how mine is set up.
(P.s.) Paul It wasn?t how I was doing it but the type of camera I was using. Some times less expensive is the way to go. ray1040728.6457986111

EATTHE Kids First is pretty funny, but what kind of personalized plates do you all have for your replica or other cars?

Thanks for posting this. I got a chuckle out of them.

That was pretty funny, only because that’s what most mechanics think anyway. The customer was pretty stupid; could he be for real?

I did stop by the Top Shop in Phoenix last month and there was a VW based MG TD for sale.  I wasn’t in the buying mode, so I just briefly looked at it. I’m going back soon to get my top repaired properly, which will require them to stitch the frame bars to the top.  I hope the stitching won’t leak in the rain, but than won’t be too much of a p…[Read more]

I realize that I’m six months late on this thread, but once I’m back in Phoenix, the location of those cars (one is considered sold) is very close to where I live.  I’d be happy to go take a look at the one left for anyone.  The price seems a bit high for the current market of MG TC replicas

My insurance is with State Farm.  Not as a daily driver but no restriction for low milage either.  Had to get it apraised thur one of their approved apraisers and my agent took pictures of it to have on file.  About $300 a year for full coverage 18,500 replacement value.
Happy 4th to all..

Has anyone besides me ordered from her?  I got my items before she offered the discount, so I’d like to see if anyone else has had experience with this vendor.
