drill a small hole in the side of the filler neck just under the cap. Make the hole about the diameter of this. Which you buy. JB weld it in. (Or use this stuff, fuel-safe). Wait a day or so for the the epoxy to set up.

Run the tube up a little above the cap’s level, then down in front of the tank, to just above the little hole in the floor pan…[Read more]

emailed you a phone number for Bill in Pittsburgh.

Thanks again Stephen! You’re really doing a great job.

Question – How about photo links that go to the old site? Use the Car registry thread as a working case. Wherever a member had a picture of their car in the old gallery, I included a link to the photo. The pictures are not embedded. They are just links.

I just checked. None of those links work.

The discussion Al mentions does not really help me.  I have no vent at all right now.  That’s really odd, but that’s the way the guy built it.  When I got the car, the gas cap was poorly sealed and the garage smelled like gas all the time, and a tank would evaporate in short order.  However, I’m sure he never had my problem of fuel starvation.  Si…[Read more]

Just a thought or two.  In my experience (one car) these TDrs are an enjoyable hobby.  With help from  the great folks at TDreplica and occasional visits to Samba.com for VW based cars even a shadetree mechanic like myself can have a car that’s fun to drive.  That said, it doesn’t sound like yours is a good choice for a quick “shine and sell”.  As…[Read more]

There was some discussion of gas tank venting a while back.  Don’t know why the pictures no longer show up.

Bill – I’m interested in the MiGi. I contacted you on craiglist, but I figured I would post here too. I’m new to this hobby, but I’ve always loved MGs. I’d love to be able to learn more, and hopefully make a deal with you. I’m located in CT, so I hope shipping is a possibility.

Let me know, thanks!

Does anyone have contact info for crash55(Bill)?

I sent a PM from here but there’s been no response. There are several possibilities using the phone book.

I have no personal experience with RetroSound, but have heard similar comments about their quality issues in other forums.

Caveat emptor I guess.

As to speaker enclosures (or baffles), that was easy. I have two six inch round speakers mounted on the rear “firewall.” They are surface mounted. I used baffles like…[Read more]
