They get mentioned on enthusiasts sites occasionally. Apparently fairly rare and spendy.
Why not re-drill your hubs at 4 x 4.5 and get a wide selection of possible wheels–including (but not listed at that link) original MGA steelies that look just like TD wheels (12-holes instead of 15) and take the same hubcaps? Or–and this can happen, just ask… -

I was fortunate to be working at a Ford dealer when they were procured. They might still be available through the dealer parts chain, albiet rather expensive.

Yes. Spring steel. Cuts hard and hot. Use tough tools to do it. Measure twice, etc.
As for the tie rods:I talked out this project with a guy who knows how to do it. This was a few years back, and I’ve not followed-through, but I remember this: A 2-inch narrowed beam will probably not need new tie rods, I was told, but it might–not will,… -

The 15″ mustang police wheels actually have less offset than the 14″ Cragar wires. The 195/70R14 on the wires will rub the fenders without raising the ride height with the coil overs. The 15’s sit in a bit further allowing the car to be lowered. Running 205/60R15’s. We had 235/60R15’s on the rear before we dedicated those wheels for the race…[Read more]

Ed, if you have some shots in mind for the calendar, you’ll have to contact the person that posted them for the files. I have a couple of ideas in mind:

Great shots, Vicenc. Looking through the Flicker files, there are some great potential calendar shots there. Some of the pics of your car have just stunning, etherial color saturation.
It’d be great if folks could send me some hi-res ones from those files. (I can’t swipe them off Flicker with enough pixels to make a calendar). -

It’s an eMGe, and deign classics only lasted a year–1981, according to this: http://www.allcarindex.com/auto-car-model/United-States-Design-Classics-eMGe/
The marque is remembered by our spare parts supplier. -

Litchfield, MN? Damn near rolled my Mustang there. Hwy 12 runs alongside the railroad then all of a sudden the highway does a couple of 90’s to run along the other side of the tracks. Wow. That’ll wake you up.Unrelated, I know. But, that location brought that incident to mind. Carry on.

Well, I rode the TDr to work yesterday afternoon because the weather was great but I neglected to take any pics. I’ll do it again today. I’ve been riding the Royal Enfield in the mornings and the TDr in the afternoons to get as much riding/driving time in as possible before Winter gets here.

Well, it was a glorious drive into work today in Bridget. I’ve decided that 52 degrees and sunny is the perfect weather for a top-down cruise. Much better even than 78 degrees and sunny. I set my phone in a clip behind me and put the vid recorder on. It ran out of megabytes after a few minutes, so I wasn’t able to do the three-camera-angle…[Read more]
