Thanks everyone for all the responses.Mike the info you posted will help me when I fill out the data tag which, sadly, I did not get with the kit.Dan I didn’t get a pan/chassis with the kit. It was new, still wrapped, and had a lot of boxes. I’m keeping an eye out for a good chassis/pan in the middle Georgia area. Still need to contact the sell to…[Read more]

Not too long ago the Fiberfab web page had an area for ordering a new brass plate.   I would call them to see if they still have some —
The President of the new Fiberfab is very helpful — but does not have old records and can not replace MSOs.

Just a comment on newkitman’s postClassic Roadsters manuals are NOT in teh Download Manuals section yet.I need FrankieD to do that.If you want a copy, send me a private message.Actually, I believe a combination of PinkMG’s suspension softening and some ballast provides the best handling car. Without a couple hundred pounds over the front axle, the…[Read more]

Muir’s books are THE BEST VW repair and maintenance books on the street!

I had same problem and ordered new boots, they are still in box, the 5mm vinyl tape has worked fine. Hope to change in the winter. Might even clean engine.

If I were you I’d get PN 408-580 (item 75) on this page and put my serial number and Fiberfab MFG ID on that.

 Allen,    I searched for the Georgia DMV and their official website has tons of information about requirements ,forms, etc. If I’m seeing correctly , they do not title vehicles older than 1986. The forms have a blank for a vin# and I seem to remember them asking for a MSO as well. I’m thinking that you are going to need a bill of sale and per…[Read more]

 Allen  you have A VW based kit did you get a title with the pan? Dan

Newkitman,  just saw your post. I have a fiberfab and Paul was right about that number being the serial number. I have a brass tag about 3 x 4 inches on mine mounted to the dash by the original builder. I suspect it should have been mounted to the firewall. The tag reads:  MD TD REPLICA…Fiberfab International …. Minneapolis MN….then the…[Read more]

I am headed to a hot rod / car show in Bartlett, TN this evening. It usually has a couple of Cobras (replica), a dozen classic Mustangs, a couple dozen hot rods of various ages, lots of Chevy’s, Corvettes and Corvairs. Last Thursday there was over 100 cars. I am yet to take my MGTD replica to the weekly event, it would be the only one there. There…[Read more]

 Mike,
  Are you referring to the boots that connect the three sections of the intake manifold together? I was thinking about the cooling fan and the shroud and could not remember any boots nor could I         &nbsp ; relate to how it would make the engine run lean when it finally hit me that you were talking about the intake manifold not the fa…[Read more]

Love to see pics of this part.

I think you’re going to want to omit the ballast box. It’s only there to wieght-up the front end and make up for a bad design element in the original kits.The problem: TD Replicas remove about 300 lbs from the front suspension, owing to the lighter body and the rearward shift in weight distribution. Most of these kits account for that by lowering…[Read more]

That’s a great pic, Roy

I have a mustang and go to a lot of car shows here in AZ. Always love seeing
the cobra guys out there. Always wanted to get a yellow cobra kit, maybe
someday, if I can get a deal as good as I got on my MGTD

Those Cobras are awesome. But when there’s 20 of them and only one of us, we win–split the vote.

Paul,
Just wanted to say thank you for putting your Classic Roadster’s Duchess Assembly Manual in the Download Section.  
For those who haven’t taken a look at the manuals in that section, the Classic Roadster’s manual is far and away the best of those listed.
 After going through all of them I have noted some small differences here and there b…[Read more]
