Knowing that this country has people as smart as Royal is the reason I sleep peacefully at night; Now if we can just get him to run for President!

Royal , You are one of the biggest reasons why before I go to bed at night I have to log on to td replica .

I don’t see why that wouldn’t work, so long as the valves and rings seal well.

And here’s our “mystery TD” as we went home.

2016 Britfest Roxbury Twp. NJ.  Rainy day but three T’s came out, a bunch of modern Jaguars (in this photo) and a big Healey “working restoration” in the distance (lots of B’s some A’s and other’s too). Dorve over 65 miles round-trip top down (stopped after 10 miles to get at least one wiper working) and scored a matching wind-wing from a…[Read more]

Scored a replacment windwing with old hardware at the Central NJ (Centre) MG Club Britfest today (in the rain) for $25!  Saw it in a pile of MG stuff, asked the bloke what he wanted.  He said $25 – and I couldn’t get the money out of my pocket fast enought!  LOL!  I think Moss wants $125 for the pair and I’m not sure the hinges are stil the sam…[Read more]

Sure  would be happy to  discuss anytime 

Yep, that’ll work. Pick your time and I’ll be there.

Mis-quoted (of course):  “Neighbors?  I don’t need no stinking neighbors.”…and Kall, I have for many years used an old 1/2 gal lawnmower fuel tank with a built in shut-off valve to test an engine suspected of having sat for a while.  Works great.  First drain the carb float bow. Disconnect the line from the fuel pump to the carburetor and plug…[Read more]

Since we are talking about fuel system cleaning, I saw a great tip on a website about evaluating tanks and motors which have been sitting a long time – divide and conquer. They built a temp fuel tank out of a 1 gallon can which can be hung near the engine compartment to fuel the carb directly. That way motor testing can proceed without the…[Read more]

Welcome aboard Harry. Glad to have you with our gang. (Hmm…does that mean Paul is Spanky?”) But I digress. You WILL enjoy your TDr ride. Not just the driving part but building/fixing and even us! 😆

Sometimes I see Roy’s comments and think, “man-o-man, Roy’s neighbors must love him.”

I really like that wheel, John.  I’m going to have to pick your brain about it because I would love to do something like that for my car.

Hi Bill, Charlene and I will be going this year and towing just to be safe.  We will be heading out on Thursday morning as well so maybe we could meet up at the Turkey Hill in Denver again if that works for you.  

You guys are the best. Will def first try cleaning the carb a bit, just because I already took it off and it looks fun. Then I’m going to add the second fuel filter because that’s just a cheap, bandaid solution to the tank because it doesn’t seem “that bad”… Then will debate cleaning vs buying a new one… I live up in Milwaukee so limited…[Read more]

:lol::lol::lol:

Vicenc, will you be going this year? I’ll be heading out Thursday morning.

Anay, If you want to save yourself from building up your abs and biceps, buy a new tank.  They are not too expensive, but be careful to order the right one and you might have to have the fill neck cut and re-welded on.  Or, use Schu’s shaken but not stirred technique.  Put a piece of chain in the tank and shake away.  If you are fortunate eno…[Read more]
