Hi Guys:
I just got my Carlisle registration package today (cancelled from last year). Unfortunately, I can’t make it due to a long delayed family vacation.
If anyone out there wants to go and has not yet registered and paid, please let me know as I would hate to see these go to waste.

Sorry guys: Nearly got to Carlisle last year and had them move my registration to this year but unfortunately it’s the same week as a long delayed family vacation abroad.
Have fun!!!
I agree, looks like a Fiberfab. The logo on the front gives it away. Also I agree that the headlight brackets are non standard. That said, most parts are easily available via MG Magic. However, as these were mostly self assembled you never know what the original owner did (or didn’t) do.
Hi John
Once you have logged in. go to the forums, general discussion. BEFORE you select a posted message, there should be a txt box open at the bottom of the page (only appears if you are logged in). Here you can post your message with your own title.
hope this helps

Hi John
Not quiet the right place to post but to answer your question, Moss motors do a MG handle and MG Magic do a handle without the logo.
Welcome aboard

Thanks Bill
I’m on it. Hopefully, I’ll post pictures today.
I realize that without pictures the question of what color my car is becomes a great pandemic quiz.
The car is sort of a fire engine red and I know that only the original builder who painted it would know the color for sure.
Cheers

Hi Guys:
I think that Bill told me that you (Eric) are in Wexford which is pretty near me in Sewickley. Maybe we can encourage Bill to come over your way and we could meet up by you? I’m doing a car cruise with the Rolls Royce club on Sunday 2nd (any port in a storm) but other than that I’m free.

Hey Bill,
Maybe us “Pittsburgh” guys can get together locally. Socially distanced of course. Current there’s me, you and now Eric. I don’t know if there is anyone else nearby?
So Guys.. this is really strange!
On hearing that the Carlisle event was cancelled I called the Marriott as suggested and they told me that ALL registrations had been cancelled already.
I then called Carlisle events to get my registration pushed to next year and they said they have definitely NOT cancelled and the event will go ahead as planned. When I said that my club was suggesting that we push the registration until next year or get a refund, I was told that neither was an issue as the event was still on.
Is it just us that have cancelled and how hard do you have to push for a refund?
Hi Eric:
Great to have another in Pittsburgh.
Bill (Crash55) has talked me into Carlisle this year so I’ll be taking Annie for the drive. Would be great to meet up with you and your MG at sometime (I’m in Sewickley).

Settled then. Ordering a new set today. Thx for the referral to Dolphin, I think I’ll try those.
Hi Ed
Thanks for the info. I tried tightening the cable (which I read somewhere) and I have also been told that the angle of the cable could be an issue. I will try the oil and see.
My mechanic thinks there might be an “adapter” missing from the speedo (never heard of this before).
Maybe I’ll put a new set of gauges on my Christmas list 🙂
Hi Guys:
I think my gauges are just old and giving up.
Apart from the stuck tach problem mentioned (needle stuck on high ‘5 o clock), my speedo is bouncing, my gas gauge is sticking (just cleaned the contacts to see if that works) and my oil press and oil heat have never worked.
So while I was reasonably comfortable with a few not working they all seem on their way out ;-(

Hi John:
Only just came across your posting.
Any chance that you still have your gauges?
Mine are on the way out. Currently I have “Vintage Reproduction” white/Beige face with chrome Bezels.
Thx
dan
