VW? Or Front Engine?
Sounds like VW, but we need to know.

MIne is purely a mechanical cable hook up.  It would screw into the trans and run up front –then back  through the fire wall and into the back of the gauge.  The “VINTAGE” guage has a threaded shaft to connect to.  Also it came with an adapter kit which allows what is called a push in type of connection.   The length would  likely  to be about…[Read more]

Bill,
We need to know what speedometer you have? Is it mechanical or electronic?
Most of these kits use an aftermarket electronic speedometer with a Hall Effect sender that goes in the transmission speedometer drive. So, after the speedometer is in the dashboard and the sender is screwed in the trans, only a few wires are required to be hooked…[Read more]

I just changed over the the wire wheels from MG Magic.  They look good and no clearance issues.  They use lug nuts, so no lead hammer to carry around.
I had looked at a set that used an adapter and real knock offs but the adapter does add depth and can cause issues.  Decided to take the easier route.
 

Thanks for the invite. I’ll PM you.

C’Mon down, Mark. The water’s fine. I’ll show you around Harford County. APG is about a click from my front door. The Mariner Point Park (marina & boat ramp) is a bit closer.
Lots of rentals available right reasonable (real houses I mean; yards, garages) if you want to take your time about buying or building & wait for the market to settle down…[Read more]

DanR,
Web based email links typically look for a mail client on your computer.
The POP3 error means that your mail client is not configured to access your email server (verizon, att, aol, gmail or whomever you use).
If you always go out to the web to use your email service, you probably have no email client configured on your own computer. I’m…[Read more]

I’m about 4.5 hours northeast of Chevy Chase/Washington DC.
I’d like to get another TD Replica to mess with but I’ll be forced to move out of state in early to mid 2011 due to the Fort Monmouth base closure and it’s move to Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) in Maryland. I am supposed to report there on 13 Feb 2011, but may just stay here until the…[Read more]

The FoMoCo 4 lug wheels are 4 x 4.25″ bolt pattern and use a 1/2″ x 20 thread stud.
Pay close attention to backspace and width. If they aren’t right, you’ll have tires rubbing fenders and frame rails.
Although they look really cool…Keep in mind that wire wheels are VERY pricey, a PITA to keep clean, warp and get out of round easily and some re…[Read more]

 Hi and welcome to the forum.    Click the photo gallery icon at the top right of this page,a list of names will come up,  click on SARGE, he has a Ford based car with wire wheels that I think came from MG Magic. The pictures at the bottom of the page show the car and also a close up shot of one of the wheels. Click on the links page, at the lowe…[Read more]

  Bill welcome to our site   look   on ebay there a few companies selling complete wheel sets and not a bad price . for knock off wheels with the adaptors..I don’t remember the company name   look under<>good luck  Dan

 Dan , I know what you mean about giving up on the computer. I get our children and grandchildren to come up here and ”fix” our’s quite often. 
  The person that posted the ad is the lady that owns the car’s grandaughter so I doubt if they could use a Harley but you never know. There must have been a grandfather somewhere in this picture.

Larry I give up i am just going to let my son do it for me i put a post on craigslist if it is seen ok if not the bike don’t eat much  Dan

 Dan ,Try this e-mail address
    sale-zpxgy-1872007317@craigslist.org
 That is the one I got thru  with.

 Larry my computer shows POP3 error every time i try craigslist E/M I have att.net for my internet I guess it does not like craigslist  I have my daughter inlaw trying to find something for me ,there is a B for trade he may consider a Harley good way to get rid of mine,, best of it is he is in our countyif I can find him……  Dan

The VW-based one in Athens TN is very interesting. Are those dub-style Buick portholes affixed to its forward flanks?
Mark, you’re in or near DC? If so, I’mma second Larry’s admonition & suggest you at least look at that pile o’ parts someone’s trying to move. I’m wanting someone to cruise with & hoping to get a couple within a 70 mile radius at…[Read more]

  Mark,   When I saw the one in Chevy Chase, my first thought was ”That would be a good opportunity for Mark to get back in the TD replica world”. GO FOR IT!!
There  is a green VW based car on Knoxville Craigslist that has been on there for several months but the Allison has only been on for two or three days. I got an e-mail from the gra…[Read more]

 I don’t know why after this thing was reconfigured it will not me do craigs list  That TD is in Knoxville..  In the pics she looks great it is under MG TD Roadster   Dan Dan R40393.5496064815

I checked the Knoxville, TN Craig’s list…is that’s the right Knoxville??? There is one listed that is dark green, has hub caps and is a VW based car.
Chevy Chase, MD is northwest of downtown Washinton, DC, about 11 o’clock on the Capital Beltway. That unassembled car might be worth a drive there???

 Dan, I clicked on the link in the Craigslist and it went thru. I got a reply from the owner’s grandaughter who is helping her grandmother with the sale.  She confirmed that it is an Allison with the Nissan engine and drive train/suspension.She ”thinks” that it has real wire wheels.
  I got the impression that she is not too experienced in th…[Read more]
