Ongoing concerns with operating temperatures. If only I could get consistent readings I’d feel a lot better driving it. I’ve put a few miles on it constantly stopping to check temps. I’ve never encountered boil overs or errant steam which is a good thing. It makes me leery to take it any distance.

Ric, re oil hoses: you can use regular clamps but most people go with more expensive and better stuff—AN 8 or AN 10 fittings, say. Oil pressure above 80 lbs on startup, and a heat cycle on the hoses that’s worse than your coolant system, means you should get short lengths of heavy-duty neoprene hoses designed for use with hot oil, and preferably b…[Read more]

Here are some photos from the 2018 Carlisle event. Rainy, wet and muddy would describe it. The weather kept a lot of cars away, but a good time was had by all who attended anyway.

I’ll be driving the Subaru, but due to positive thinking, I’ve already plastered my field pass to the MG windshield.

Hi guys,
I have not purchased parts for my TD for many years. A local VW engine builder friend of mine is looking for a serviceable to new top as well as the red and green dash indicator lights ( VW?). I am sure he will need more stuff as well. Anyone have any laying around he could purchase? The top can be used but needs to be in good working…[Read more]

Good deal Al.
Looking forward to hanging out.
Hope the rain forecast changes – I wanted to drive a lot this weekend.

I will probably be towing also, due to lack of drive time as well as the weather. There is a possibility the MG won’t come at all if I can’t resolve issues with the replacement coilovers.
That will piss me off.

Dale Schumacher replied to the topic Carlisle 2018 in the forum Clubs and Show 7 years, 11 months ago
I will be there as well on Thursday evening for Caddie Shack.
If raining most likely I will tow (crap – don’t want to…) but will be there regardless.
Join us – who else is Coming?
Al – you started the post – coming?

Four days to go. Looks like rain. Karen’s coming on Friday; I’ll be there for Caddy Shack Thursday night.

That looks dangerous. Amazing it wasn’t noticable.

Fitted the front body panels. The hood closes, but it is tight.

Got the fenders back on and the headlamps mounted. The lights work!!

As I was mounting the front bumper brackets and tow bar I noticed something out the corner of my eye.

That ain’t right.

This has obviously been broken for a while. Never noticed or felt a thing. It rode…[Read more]
