The Head Light support arms for a Fiber Fab, are a curved flat bar, from what I have seen on other members cars. My Classic Roadster Dutchess, has the orginal MGTD round thick head light bar. You can also look at the photos of other members cars in the member profile area, as they list what kind of a MGTDr they have.Dave

davearoy replied to the topic bad steering in the forum VW Based Kits 9 years, 8 months ago
I can not pull up your You Tube video because I use a iPad. Just a quick thought since I can not access your video, is the flexible donut between the steering shaft and the steering box in good repair, and the bolts tight? Like I said just my thought. If you do not have the flexible donut, then maybe your steering shaft and steering box shaft…[Read more]

Crash, you are probably thinking of MG Magic, which now is in California. They still have their Florida phone number, 954-680-2010. This is an excellent parts resource, TJ, and have offered several of our site members suggestions and solutions for their Fiber Fab Kits. Dave

davearoy replied to the topic Luggage Rack Wanted in the forum VW Parts Wanted 9 years, 8 months ago
Ed, this is what I came up with using 1/2″ electrical conduit. It has a hinge, so I can store it up right. I did not want to drill any holes in the fiberglass, so I used the “Tire Step design. I will stain the wood to match my dash and steering wheel.https://www.flickr.com/photos/davearoy/23503827530Dave

Joe tks for ur post. If you would send me your email address to my IM on this site, I will send you some pics of my complete restoration of Herbie. I have an iPad and it will not up load pics to TDr.com. The only problem is finishing the small details on my car, because living in Florida, I rarely put the top up, and drive it almost every day. 😛 Dave

Joe you should be proud of your build. I sounds like you have spend a whole bunch on your project. The only problem with these TDr’s, is there is a dollar price point of “diminishing returns” on our investment. Like you I have spent a bunch to $ to restore my Classic Roaster Dutchess. I know it will become one of my pass on legacies to my grand…[Read more]
