I am a retired Army guy that just was handed a fire damage fiberfab MG and a complete body and parts to create another. Look forward to reading all the answers to my many questions in the future.

Bit far for me…but….As anyone who has been to Carlisle or the recent Air & Auto’s in VA Beach can attest…these cars are a lot more fun when you gather in groups.Why? It’s the people!!!!So if you are within shootin’ distance of Zephyrhills…make the drive!

OK, guys, so here’s what I just wrote to the two experts most qualified to answer:
Dear Click and Clack: I have a problem I think you two are uniquely qualified to ponder, if not answer. It involves my ???52 MG TD replica, into which I am about to install a new engine. My question: will a 1995 Honda Civic radiator work to cool the 2.2 liter 1995… -

Gabe, thanks for the idea. I’ll have to wait until I disassemble my wheel to check the size needed against what’s available. I’m probably going to wait until January when I start work on my TDr list.
Powder Coating:About 18 months ago, when I first got my wire wheels, I became interested in powder coating since I really couldn’t afford to bu… -

Any thought of using knife-making rivets? Like this for examplehttp://www.knifemaking.com/category-s/75.htm

Mark, that looks great! Well done!
Roy–please fill us in on this “home powder coat” thing. I am intrigued.All: One way to get a new and different wheel might be to go to a machine shop and have them CNC you a new wheel center. Since ours are (mostly) not dished it’s just a matter of getting a piece of 1/4 or 3/8-in aluminum plate in the diameter… -

OK Ed, the challenge is on.
I wasn’t going to start my project yet but… since you are starting, I am going to get going on mine too. I also have the engine to transaxle adapter, the flywheel, the donor car, and lots of hope I will get this project done this winter. My TD is still just a partially assembled kit so that may be an advantage wh… -

Mark Konrad replied to the topic New Custom Made Steering Wheel & Dash in the forum General Discussion 11 years, 11 months ago
Roy I could not find the rivets any where. So I drilled out the rivets on the steering wheel and where the rivets were on the back side I filled the holes with walnut doll. I took the dish part to a Polishing company in Sarasota and had them flatten the dish and polish it. Then I took the polished part and reinstalled it using no. 6 1 inch…[Read more]

Mark, funny that you should mention it. My steering wheel is the thing on my car most needing of restoration. I have a standard 3 spoke flat Grant wheel with wood around the perimeter just like yours. I have been looking for brass rivets to replace the original rivets once I take it apart and reassemble. The real wart on my wheel though, is…[Read more]

Ordered my Megajolt ignition kit ($175) and an EDIS4 (Ford) setup with a 36-tooth wheel from a ebay dude ($100). Spoke to my transmission guy; will trade my older model IRS for a newer, stronger box, put a 3.44 R&P, super diff, etc in that. All done I’ll be doing 70mph at 3000 rpm. Saturday: pulling the sooby engine, inspecting, ordering new cam…[Read more]
