Any idea why it seized?

Responded to other posting. This thread answers my question.Welcome.

Very nice…MGB drivetrain?

I think it should be fender welt at 1/4 (?) inch–same stuff as on the fenders-to-body joint. Mine is riveted (and painted). The rivets are close where it turns the corners.edsnova2013-02-11 13:34:47

Further disassembly .Don’t know if there will be a picture … First attempt from an iPad.

You’re not running an air cleaner or have you rigged remote duct work?

If it won’t match when you’re done, try a contrasting color for the exposed ends. Black?

It will keep loading new photos. I’ve never been able to clear them nor ever hit a limit of any sort.

I’m not so worried. At some point I plan to grind off the old wiper nubs in the scuttle top in front of the windshield and fill them. So the scuttle’s going to need paint. I figured I’d have a body shop spray it when the time comes. Now I’ll see how well the rattle can matches. If it’s terrible–and I expect it to be–then it’s just a little more…[Read more]

Dick, you need your hubs to be 4 x 4.5 inches or the wheels won’t fit. You buy the MWS (or someone’s) full kit for the TR3/4. It comes with hubs, knock on spinners, even a hammer to knock ’em on.Then you get your hubs re-drilled to the TR3/ TR4 MGA, MGB etc. bolt pattern. You need 114.3mm (4.5 inches) because the wheels are relieved to fit the…[Read more]

More complications.

Bridget’s old dashboard was wider than the new. This is pretty typical
in replicas, as it seems logical to cover the scuttle front end to end
with maybe a slight and even “reveal” all around. But it’s not as
original. TD dashes left more metal exposed on each end, matching it to
the width of the doors. This was so that the…[Read more]

I am beginning to believe I might not have to start over on this.

That is amazing. I love that story.

A general teaser shot would be good. How about a PM with a good photo to those of us already committed to Carlisle? Anybody else who wants to see it can show up to see it.

First coat of Spar Urethane applied. Blocked the board with 220 and then rubbed in the low spots lightly with a sheet of 400 grit to make sure everything was hatched so the new stuff would adhere. Thinned it 20 percent and used a brush. Looks like it’s leveling nice and filling a the brush mark valleys that were left. Fingers crossed.After this…[Read more]
