Steering! It’s what’s for dinner!

Well, I located the source of the play in my steering system. I had cross drilled the flanges of the new U-joints from Borgeson and bolted them fast to the shafts. Apparently bolts are a no-no. Spring pins seem to have tightened it up. Couple more items and we can take advantage of the unseasonable weather.

Holy Crap!  Zippers are much easier.

I do not have a Dutchess, but my grille shell had three screws per side. There is a third one you access from under the fender. I’ve removed mine so often it now has zippers.

Well I was able to temp fix it and put a new cable in but still looking for a replacement – let me know if you see one.

Thanks

Cool!

I still have to wire the fan but it’s mounted and the hood is painted and reinstalled.

Cool!

I’ll have the Spyder this year.

Whatcha bringing, Ed?

Bump:

I think 28 of the Carlisle rooms have been reserved. There are like a dozen left still. Time to register.

Meals included in the hotel bill.

That number again, Courtyard by Marriott reservation :   717 300 7026  ask for Charity Shreffler. 

Get in on it, guys.

Good to hear from you.

I had not thought of just replacing the cable tie-in area. I may have a VW speedo around here someplace and now have a backup plan. Not sure if the innards are the same but I guess I can find out. It looks like I have to pry the metal edge of the face back to open it up.

The repair places charge as much for…[Read more]

Still looking

Hey Bill, good to hear from you.

Paul will chime in I’m sure. You just keep on keepin’ on.

Brad at MG Magic says he does not think he has one but said he would take a look at his old stock and get back to me but no luck so far.

Anyone else have one sitting in a parts box?

I run a Fiberfab. I ran without a grille shell for a couple years because there were no replacements out there. New and used Grille shells for an original TD are available, however. You could probably adapt one of these to fit as I did by trimming some flanges and modifying the front fenders.

Thanks

I will give them a call to see if they have one – don’t see one on the web site but maybe they have a few loose speedo’s

Anyone out there know where one might be hiding?

Let me know,

Thanks
