Welcome to the group, Jim.

And thanks, Bill, for reposting that tutorial.

Glad you found it! Accessing the MC on these cars can be tricky and it’s also true that there as many styles of rig connecting the pedal to the MC as there are TDr manufacturers. My BCW uses a custom length pushrod. I’ve seen some that use two full set of pedals, with the one under the driver’s foot connected to the one at the original VW location…[Read more]

Hey hey!

I think Jack and Royal are both maybes.

Brooklands screens are easy to source but not for $60. Nice score Vicenç.

Ground (GND) to ground. Positive (red, +) to key switched +. Lights are a + wire from the dash lights or the headlight switch. Finally the green or signal wire goes to the negative (-) terminal on you coil. done.

Pretty great video, man! Looks like you found the missing set screw.

Nice to see the Bills cooperating!

I did not replace my in-tunnel line but when I installed the Subaru engine I ran new fuel injection hard lines front to back—fuel and return. Since I was not taking the body off the pan I ran the lines through the interior of the car low on the passenger side of the tunnel.

Shocking? Well, actually, that is how Subaru did it:

Adapting the CMC frame and glass to the MG fold-down mounting system is probably doable but will also probably entail quite a bit more labor than you at first would think. If you do it, by all means document your process!

Adapting the CMC folding top to the MG pin-and-clamp header support would undoubtedly be even trickier.

My car came with a TD-like windscreen. It is very similar to an original but not quite the same size—slightly narrower, as I recall. My car’s scuttle did not have the molded-in “plinths” for an extended windshield frame, If yours does have those, you’d have to shave them and reshape the scuttle for the MG windshield mount. Then you (probably) h…[Read more]

Well there’s another Carlisle show in the history books. The weather was perfect and I think most of us had a pretty good time. It was great to see Bill and Audrey with their new (two years old to them) green machine, and Bill Ascheman with his race MG’s cooling problems sorted.

It was also great to meet Gary and Doreen Wilson of upstate New…[Read more]

Weather is looking good!

Muster up, gentlemen. And remember to let Alan know on the Speedster forum thread (click that link!) if you’re coming to the banquet. Karen and I are already booked.

Excellent news! Well done.

The Spyder is going to be housed in Building T on the fairgrounds. Not sure just when I’m heading up but I might do Wednesday and then drive it over and drop it off there Thrusday a.m.

Currently re-doing the brakes after a mishap. New MC supposedly on the way.

Glad to hear it, Bill!

Everyone: I am setting up two nice cruise routes for the group. They will both be at each person’s discretion, rather than trying to do a mass ride. The first one hits covered bridges and a winery. The other one is TBD.

That should do it. But why did you locate the new filler so far from the old one?
