This is a video of my MG and I enjoying a run around the Shenandoah circuit at Summit Point Motorsport Park last Sunday, Sept. 1. This was my first time at this circuit. This was fun!

I’ve searched through the black hole that is my garage and the only tachometer I found was a Stewart Warner unit. Odd, because I removed VDO from the car and installed Stewart Warner. Sorry, I can’t help you.

I have a set of VDO Vintage gauges that I removed several years ago. They were the “Vintage” series. What are you in need of?

Try as I might, I am not able to convert my video to a format that I can export.
Anyway, this weekend I’m heading to Summit Point. The 2+ mile Shenandoah circuit is one I have yet to run. Wish me luck.

As did Mark, I also went with agreed value with Hagerty. It’s hard to apply a hard and fast value on these as they are all different.

Another Duryea Hillclimb is in the books. The weather forecast called for rain both Saturday and Sunday. I contemplated not running but decided I’d just go and have fun playing in the wet. My first run was a 182.5 seconds. The rain stopped but the road was still wet and I dropped to 156.3 after my third run. A lot of folks packed up and left…[Read more]

Pretty much. The fuse panel should have both “Hot all the time” as well as “Hot with key on only”. If you have wiring with melted insulation, replace the wires. Good luck.

If you mount the lamps to the badge bar, drill a hole in the bar and route the wires through the bar and mounting bracket to the underside of the fender.

Have you tried a manual reset of the trip meter? That might realign all the numbers.(Maybe)

It’s there. I can pull it up, but, you’re right, a general search does not work. Send your email address to ‘billnparts@yahoo.com” and I’ll try to send it direct.

billnparts replied to the topic Seat belt installation. in the forum General Discussion 7 months, 2 weeks ago
The bels should be mounted into the frame or some structural metal. The outboard belt is easy enough, you can bolt it into the frame rail. The inboard is not so easy. There is nothing there but fiberglass. When I had my safety cage constructed the chassis shop installed a metal brace off the frame to mount the belt. In lieu of that, use the…[Read more]

My VDO Speedo was doing the same thing. I decided to take it apart. I found there was a jackshaft between gear sets that had become misaligned. It snapped back into place easily enough. Problem fixed. Replacement bezels are available on the VDO website.
Search for forum topic “ Odometer” for photos and detailed instructions.
Hope this helps.

Congratulations.

First you go to your own thing. Upper right corner it should say something like “Howdy, Happy Jack.” Click on that and you get a drop-down menu. At the bottom it says “media.” Hover over that with your curser and you should see another drop-down menu with “albums,…[Read more]

Gangster whites are a personal choice. I’ve seen cars where they look pretty good and others where they are hideous. Owners choice as to what look they want. Scroll through the gallery and check out various photos. Good Luck.
