Another clue – maybe…
I’m having trouble with my windshield (cracked) see other post. Bill (crash55) was kind enough to let me draw around his windshield which is currently off his FF MiGi. It turns out that his windshield is a couple of inches deeper than mine. So I guess FiberFab is out? -

Next exciting installment…
I’ve been working with Safelite over the past 6 weeks. Bill (crash55) even got me a template. Now after 4 broken windshield attempts, Safelite are telling me that they think the windshield frame is bent (hence cracking each new windshield). They suggest I use “Lexan” rather than glass. Any suggestions on bend… -

It would be great to welcome more members to the Pittsburgh area. Bill and I will certainly do what we can (including beer and BBQ ;-)). Our current plan is maybe get to Carlisle next year. As I only have a 5 gal tank, we’ll do it with plenty of stops.

I also have hagerty at $250, valued at $12k with 0 deductible. Annie is kept at ‘my house’ during the summer and locked up during the winter.Made a claim for a crack in my windshield recently and Hagerty have been brilliant!!!

I think MG Magic must resell Moss stuff.Moss was also cheaper on a Mosom car cover.BTW: For chrome polish, we Brits swear by AutoSol. It’s German but you can still find it around (Ebay?)

I heard a rumor that there was a small manf working out of SW Penna in the 70’s & 80’s. I think someone told me McKees Rocks, which is part of Pittsburgh. I’m wonder if it could be one of these? I thought that the “TD” badge on both the grill and the steering wheel might give it away.
