Thought about doing it. There is a nice hollow in the doors. In my case I had stock (Moss)-looking panels made with some “give” on the inside so the junk in the pockets could bulge inward & out of sight.

After several back and forth emails MG Magic doesn’t carry the inner support bracket. However…the did send me the engineering drawing for the Z bar bracket used on the CMC kits. As for my bracket, I ended up just cutting off the slotted tab piece off one of the brackets and re-welded it in the correct position. Paint drying tonight and I’ll…[Read more]

Sam,Not exactly certain but it may be a tab issue. The float arm meets a tab and I THINK you bend the tab up or down to show empty/full. I’ll check my Ghia note. It had the same type of issue.

Ok..I have a question regarding the fuel level sender. When you look at the earlier pic of my new tank install the fuel level sender is installed such that the float arm is on the left side (the side where the filler neck is). I put about 4.5 gal of fuel in the tank and the gage showed a little less that 1/2 fill so I thought it was ok. I’ve…[Read more]

For TDr stuff I use Mg Magic.

Since MiGi doesn’t have the normal TD door pockets, these are on my winter to-do list.  I think that the ones you show were also used on AH & Triumph.  

Thanks for all the info, guys. I will attack this problem post haste since it’s almost impossible to drive my new toy the way it is. Do you all have a favorite parts source for these vehicles? I’m new to this and hate to get ripped off.

okaaay..The rivets didn’t hold….But while I’m in there making these doors my own…Has any one cut out a pocket in the door? like on the MGA?I would think this would make a dandy stowage.Any thoughts?

Amen to that.

An oil pressure gauge is a fun thing to have but a oil TEMP gauge is far more useful in a Volkswagen!  Many people spend lots of time and money chasing a oil pressure problem when they really have an oil temperature problem, especially in an air-cooled engine. ( anything you do to increase oil pressure if the problem is actually oil temperature…[Read more]

Did mine too and it made a lot of difference. PITA job though.

There used to be a product on the market called Posh Wash. It was a cream, made here in Houston, that let you wash, polish and wax your vehicle with two buckets of water and no hose. Terrific stuff. Even worked on wheels and tires. No longer available, although I still have about half a bottle. Anyway, down here on the humid Texas Gulf Coast, my…[Read more]

I don’t think they carry them — only the S-shaped bracket that goes between the bumper and the splash pan.  That’s what they told me a few months ago, at least…

It IS a bitc* to keep shiny! I wanted a green one and settled for Black. It sure does look cute when it is all cleaned up though.  It has been almost a daily driver for me this summer.

Have an email to MG Magic and it appears that they do not carry the inner supports. Just the front bumper mount brackets which run $56.00 each. So it appears I’ll be doing some cutting and welding tonight. One of these days I’ll have to load the photos. My camera is getting full. Maybe tonight after dark. Still have to hear from MG…[Read more]

That’s a common complaint, and replacing the shift rod bushing was one of the first things I had done when I bought my Lafer six years ago. Good luck.

Ah, now THERE’s a fine-looking ride! Hard to top a well-polished black beauty like that. Well done, sir.

That is an old 1100 massey, I work as a heavy duty mechanic for a Kubota dealership.

No problem. I love the triple black!

Thanks Paul!!
