I guess theyhad a change in their set up some time in their production run .I think mine was manufactured in 1988 .…[Read more]

Pink MG . If you took that Photo of the yoke to any ProfessionalMechanic that had been around for a while would tell you that your asking for trouble . The front U/joint being so far away from the Transmission tail shaft and housing bushing could cause a hell of a load on…[Read more]

They are different to mine and look good. I have the ones that sit proud of the wheel and look like they were made by the Safeway shopping cart company.                Al

Probably look good on the strip with the back end jacked and a big lump up front.                     Have fun while the sun still shines  Al.

The word Replica in my dictionary states:- copy and or reproduction and you sure did not see any TD’s out of Abingdon  with those “cheap and tacky” baskets on the wheels. As soon as I have some spare cash in the bank I’m going to giv…[Read more]

May be the only route ?. Who knows ?.

The connecting rod between the two pivot posts has been cut and rejoined in a crude fashion (Two small hose clamps holding the connecting rod together) Plus the electrical connector fits perfectly with the chevette wiper switch in the Chevy…[Read more]
