Gregg Strain replied to the topic How can I tell what year it is? in the forum General Discussion 2 weeks, 1 day ago
I’m not certain of this, but I understand that 69 was the first year for the IRS transmission and the only year that has two drain plugs for the shifty box! Mine is a 69.

Gregg Strain replied to the topic Lindon Roadster parts? in the forum General Discussion 2 weeks, 1 day ago
I had a top with side windows made at a marine upholstery shop. They did not even have my old top as a pattern. We discussed several times concerning an appropriate design. It turned out well and the cost was a little more than what MGMagic charged for a top. Down side was that I was turned down several times by at least 10 shops before f…[Read more]

Gregg Strain replied to the topic Low beam headlight does not work. in the forum General Discussion 4 months ago
I had that issue with a motorcycle fuse block many years ago. What I eventually discovered that corrosion had built up on the clips holding the glass fuse. That caused a heat build up that loosened the solder inside the fuse and it detached itself! My headlight went out at night on a curve – exciting! The fuse looked good by sight, but nothing was…[Read more]

Gregg Strain replied to the topic Need a Speedometer for MIGI in the forum Site 6 months, 4 weeks ago
I had the same problem with my speedometer and also the oil pressure. I replaced everything with new VDOs and utilized the cable to transducer conversion that Al mentioned. The speedometer was way too bouncy and that made the calibration inaccurate. I suspect something else was going on with my cable. I gave up and purchased the gps receiver fr…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Dennis, Check the media under my name for a pic of the newly vented gas cap. I forgot how to post photos in the general forum. The other side of the drilled hole is just inside of the seal gasket and is open to the tank above the internal construction of the cap. I’ve reread your original question and if you are…[Read more]

Good evening Dennis. I live in NE Ohio and my FF TD is in NW Ohio with almost two hours separating us! Regarding your question about the gas cap seal – I think I did to allow air to pass. I’m going to bring the car home this weekend if the weather is good. We had snow on the ground this am and it is supposed to hit 80 Thursday – I love livi…[Read more]

If it’s a VW tank, any foreign auto store will carry a VW cap for whatever year you have. Also Amazon and the huge number of VW on-line businesses. Then, there is always MG Magic which has all kind of parts for MG kit cars.

Gregg Strain replied to the topic how to cut gas tank neck in the forum VW Based Kits 1 year, 7 months ago
Hi DENNIS, I put a new tank in last year and had the neck cut down as far as possible. Of course, the vent tube is eliminated. The VW’s cap is unvented, of course. I followed my shops advice and drilled a very small hole (1/8”) in the top of the gas cap so air can bypass the seal and I also leave the tank about three or 4 inches low. (I alwa…[Read more]

Thank you Ed for the information. We are going to plan on it. However, I think I’m going to choose a Hilton because I have a lot of points to use. If that’s a issue, please let me know! I’ll probably arrive Thursday afternoon also. I live near Akron Ohio, so I will bring a trailer. I’m not built for a 5 hour drive in a TD. I did meet CRASH5…[Read more]

I’m really interested in the show, but I’m a little confused! The show’s website has the event for May 12 & 13th, but the hotel information above says 10 ~ 14th. Is some else beyond the show dates taking place? I would assume there are group meetings, but I’d like a little more info please.

Gregg Strain started the topic Easy fender removal? in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 1 month ago
I’m getting my Fiberfab MG on a VW chassis ready to be painted in a couple of weeks. I’d really like to replace the fender Welting, because it is really sad shape. While I’ve got the rear fenders off fairly easily, the running boards and front fenders are a problem that I do not see an easy solution for. Has anyone in this group found a way to…[Read more]

A fuel regulator was added to reduce pressure from the mechanical pump. Also, the crankcase ventilation was improved.

The alternator pulley was changed to a Porsche 346 to increase the fan speed by 28% to provide more cooling. The fan was changed to a balanced/welded one.
