I though of driving out the pins and re-inserting them the correct way but decided against it. The hinges were loose at the pins and the new ones are nice and tight.

There is no indication on the MGmagic web site that they offer left or right hinges Can you drive out the pins so has to reinsert so that you can create a left or right side hinge.
If not you can try calling to find out if they offer left and right hinges

Thanks Paul. But I can’t take the credit for the search engine.  just followed Happy Jacks directions.

Thanks  Allen. I copied your directions into a search forums thread in the “How-To Do Things in the Forums & on the Web-site” forum section.

Sounds interesting!  Keep us posted!

Jack. I followed your steps for the search engine and it worked very well.

I have the vent tube that ran from the trunk to the canister in the engine compartment from my old Ghia rebuild. Going to run the fuel vent hose to a section of that tubing. Probably will run the tube down through the front and then under the body (clamped to the body…[Read more]

Hey Allen,

I was also having trouble getting the search function to work — but I think I have “cracked the code”

When I searched for “Fuel Tank Vent Line” I got around 25 hits going back to 2010!!

Here’s what I found:

I had to select the FORUMS tab at the top of the page.  Then I entered the  search string in the “search box” that a…[Read more]

For what it’s worth:

I have uploaded three pics of my “final version” fuel tank vent to my media file – kall, media, photos.

I tapped a 1/8″ brass ell into the highest point of the tank.  A vent hose goes to a motorcycle type one way vent (air in as fuel is used) and also to a hose which runs under the frame to the rear of the car.  The gas fi…[Read more]

Funny this came up.

I will be working a fix for the summer FRY this winter.

I have a plan and hope to offer a inexpensive summer top that will work for most all of us and can be adapted to fit to your car.

It will be a TD bikini top with no windows and open in the back – light weight and  waterproof on the top and easy on and off.

Once we get…[Read more]

I forgot how HOT it could get in a convertible! One of the WORST times I had was getting stuck in Chicago construction traffic last summer at 98 deg. I thought I would FRY! Really do need a top, even in the tropics!

the unfinnished one is in MENEEFE CALIFORNIA. 92586 . To far for me !!!!

Same here in the south. While driving with the top down its okay. But in traffic stopped at a traffic light, with the top down you really cook. That’s why a lot of folks locally drive their convertibles with the top up and windows down. Whats bad is the top down  with the windows up.  😮
