Guess it got covered up in my last parts post. I have a really nice radiator frame or shell with the slats kit.
This is the part that is no longer available from Moss. The radiator cap is pitted and should be replaced. The false nose
has some pitting but both parts are available from Moss Motors.
If I get no taker here I will sell on E-Bay. Wanted to give club members first chance.
PMOSSBERG 40796.5129398148 Folk the grill and slates come off a MG-TD REplica , Fiberfab International id FM2104. The pictuers were reduced to fit
the club web site in size and I screwed up the proportions. If you are interested I can email you a full set of pictures
that do the shell justice. This is not sold anywhere moss and MG magic don’t have them.
This is last post to the club next stop ebay.
PMOSSBERG40796.5132060185Hey Jfbworld…
Your grill/slats are in beautiful shape! But your potential buyers need more info to be sure of what they are buying.
Even saying it is a Fiberfab, may not be enough. As manufacturers merged,
got bought, whatever, designs and
parts may have co-mingled.Since the proportions in the photos are off, what are the measurements
(height and width at top and bottom)?TD replicas used two grills, reproduction of a stock TD grills and and a shortened grill.
The stock grill narrows slightly from top to bottom, it’s hard to tell from the pictures if your grill does that. Stock
grills also have a hole at the bottom for a crank start. (BTW, front bumpers should also have a hole, with two
small slots extending from each side where the pivot for the hand crank would lock in.) And the stock grill would
have two narrow, rectangular slots, one on each side about a quarter to a third the way down from the top for the
cross bar that the headlight mounts attach to.The shortened grills are more squared off, do not have the crank hole, and may not have the cross bar slots. The lines on
the top of the grill may even be different, a bit more “square shouldered.”In addition, at least on VW based replicas, the lower portion of stock grills had to be modified to clear the top
torsion tube. The modifications on my Duchess grill (which is a reproduction stock grill) are much different
than the cuts made at the bottom of your grill.I’m not trying to busting your chops on this. Actually, I’m trying to help you sell it. Either here or on e-bay, and
especially on e-bay, you need to make sure the buyer knows what they are offering on or bidding on.PMOSSBERG40796.5122800926
