    You can see by the newbie that I am early in my project. The help given by others is greatly appreciated. We have a small number of units sold in comparison to other car restoration projects. I am looking for MGTD Duchess items , gas cap, drivers side fender mirror, tail light crome ring, wind wing hardwear and rear view mirror. bill linville

    Bill,

    Any chrome gas cap will fit the filler pipe provided by Classic Roadsters. Classic Roadsters provided a “flying lady” ornament for the gas cap. I thought it looked silly and left it off.

    I know of a couple sources for the fender mirrors. These are reproductions of original MG TD mirrors. Moss Motors has them if you want to pay top dollar. I bought mine from JC Whitney (albeit 22 years ago). I guess that’s actually a good thing as they still look new. I recommend you put convex mirrors on both fenders. The flat mirror is essentially useless way out there on the fender tops. The convex glass helps a lot.

    I picked up my rear view mirror at the Carlisle show one year. I am using the dash mount mirror style used in Cobras. It has a much better adjustment range the the MG TD original type. Moss has the TD style mirror. I think they mght also have the Cobra style.

    I do not know where you can get the wind wing mounts that Classic Roadsters uses. But I would start in a boat supply store or web site. I can take a couple close up pictures of mine and either post them in our gallery or email them to you. And I know, I know, if we are ever able to get together so you can see my car, you can just look at them!

    Not sure what tailghts you have. I have early style VW lights (small, oval, all red).

    Thanks Paul   My rear tail light is red oval and I have a VW number so if I find the right place I can get the right ring. The rear view mirror has two screws parallel to the wind shield that mount it I want to find the same one so I don’t have new holes. Moss motors has the fender mirror which I will get convex. I could not find it at JC Whitney I will try again they will be cheaper but Moss was not bad on this part. bIll linville OH! the license plate light two bolts and crome light attached to the plate holder is rusted need this also.

    The mirror I described has the same bolt pattern. Let me know if you want measurements/pictures. Here it is for $17 http://www.cobraaccessories.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPa th=42&products_id=194

    I picked up a replacement license plate light at Carlisle kit car show a few years ago. These are pretty standard parts, used on a lot of kits. Cobras, MGs etc. For $38, I think this is the light you seek:

    Try M.G. magic in Ft. Lauderdale Fl. He has just about any part you might need for MG replicas and some actual TD parts also. Hios prices are very reasonable.
