So I must be crazy. I decided to take out me stock manifold and install one of the three piece manifolds. The first issue is getting the old manifold out. I ended up taking the dremel with a cutting disc to both ends to pull it through. Major surgery. I have a 1968 (Dec) 1500 single port motor. I am doing this because I am unhappy with the…[Read more]

Probably two nuts holding a “U” clamp that is keeping the speedo in the dash. You also have a light and of course the speedo cable that will have to be removed.

Thanks guys! All suggestions are welcome. I will try the tire pressure first. I am guessing the local guy who set the alignment probably gave me O toe in. I will check that as well.

Hi all – I am still having some trouble feeling like the steering on the car is right. I did a complete front-end rebuild and lowered the air pressure in the tires to about 21 pounds. At lower speeds the car feels like it is tracking just fine and responsive. Once I hit about 50 and above it feels like it wants to move on its own. The steering is…[Read more]

edsnova – yes my bows are as you have described the basic two bows made from marine grade tubing. I am just thinking it would be nice to somehow replicate the ability to take them apart like the MGB bows pictured above.
ScubaSteve – My current top is supposed to be white but is more like a grey from age. MG Magic can give you the tub dimensions…[Read more]

Toller – The Tonneau comes without snaps attached. The guy that fitted the tonneau used my existing top snaps for the back and added the ones for the door and over the dash. (I have never had the side curtains fitted). MG Magic included all the snaps you need and the number is assuming you have no snaps installed on the car. They even give you a s…[Read more]

Hey all it’s been a while so Happy New Year. I bought and fitted a MG Magic Tonneau cover on my MiGi. I had to remove my top to fit it because my top is mounted on the top of the back trunk rail. It does fit nicely and is a little too big without a top. All in all I am satisfied.

Guys and Gals,
As you may know for us East Coasters – MOSS Motors has a distributions warehouse and store in Petersburg VA just south of Richmond. They have been doing a Motorfest at this location for a couple of years. I have thought about going. I sent them an e-mail asking if our replicas would be welcome and here is the response I got;”
