Peter C. King replied to the topic TDReplica Members at Bugapaluza in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 8 months ago
We may not have brought TDr’s to the show, but any time TDr forum members can meet is a show by itself. Allen may have found the parts he needs to finish his Fiberfab kit.Bugapalooza was disappointing. We’ve both been to it before. The number of cars was down. There was only one kit car there, an Aztec 7. The forecast probably had something to… -

There is more to oil handling on the Type I engine than a regular change. The drain plug is in the middle of a steel plate that is fastened to the bottom of the block by acorn nuts. When the oil returns to the crankcase it makes a 90 degree turn on top of that plate. Solids sling out as the oil changes direction and slows abruptly. You need to… -

That ad spawned a number of similar feats. Someone bolted an extended prop onto the fan pulley, shot silicon into the small gaps and drove/sailed from Sicily to the Italian mainland. The Italian Navy was not amused as it crossed the shipping lanes.

Peter C. King replied to the topic HELP WITH GENERATOR in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 9 months ago
How tight is the fan belt? Generators use bushings, not bearings. If the belt is as tight as you can make it you could have worn bushings which explains the rubbing noise. Try shaking the generator pulley when you remove the belt. There should be no play in the shaft.
Have you looked at the voltage regulator? That’s what turns raw generator… -

You guys are spoiled by modern convertible tops. The originals leaked. Even my B. You carried a dish towel, usually matching the color of the car to drape over your knee to catch the drips. It was part of the charm of the car.

Is that a replica of a TD hauler from back in the day?
You have to squint really hard to see the resemblance. -

Great pictures. You have to take that rig to a show.
Have you checked on the tow rating for a Chevette drivetrain? You are talking about less than half a ton.Boat ramps can be hard on a clutch. Try driving up a boat ramp without the trailer to see if you want to do it with another 900 pounds on the hitch.I’ve towed a number of sailplane tr… -

Peter C. King replied to the topic MG TD replica? in the forum General Discussion 10 years, 1 month ago
TDr’s have more in common with the originals than you would think. If you squinted your eyes you could almost see someone assembling a TDr in his/her garage.
I suspect that some of those guys worked on Mosquito bombers during WWII. -
