The five bolt VW pattern is probably unique too. In case you need to know, it’s 205mm.  The five bolt drum is also reinforced where the bolt holes…[Read more]

Here are a bunch  of MP Lafer links.

But a lot of the linked sites appearto have been untouched for years.

And Mr. Lafer ALWAYS insisted he did not create an MG TD replica.
Sure looks like one to me tho.

Here is a longer discussion on this topic.

I still cannot find the stock “nipple” hubcaps without VW or Empi logos. 🙁

Those are VW wheels and VW hubcaps (with no center logo).
The wheels are painted in the correct MG TD silver, available from Eastwood. The description talsk about wire wheels, but this is the correct silver for the steel wheels:

The wheel medallions are reproduction MG TD wheel centers,…[Read more]

Can’t even tell you how I foudn it. I think I had googled MG TD images, trying to find good photos of original MG TD wheels.
Let’s just say the orange TD sort of stood out on the image search results page!
 

Also, a comment on the IRS comments posted by BDriver and GunFighter.
Everything you guys said is correct. Technically the old VW swing axle suspensions are “independent” because the rear wheels move independently of each other.
But…and this is a big but…
In air-cooled VW circles, IRS will always mean the non-swing axle suspension. So if you…[Read more]

Best I can tell, c6024 MAY be an out of production Gabriel Gas Ryder shock absorber.
There has been lots of debate here as to the best shocks for our VW based TD replicas. And the common wisdom is standard oem equivalent oil-filled shocks.
Here is the thread with the most comprehensive VW suspension discussion on our forum:

Hmmm…so far I’ve learned that part number C6024 is a front brake drum for a Jaguar XK120 when equipped with wire wheels! Seriously. Look…

MGLR….I fixed the link.You have to highlight whatever you want the link to be (could be a phrase, one word, or the url string as you pasted it in)Then click the icon in the second row, third from right, looks like a globe with a chain link.Paste the url into the pop-up

BDriver is right about TDs having steel rims as stock…except that the original TD had multiple round holes around the rim.They look oval, but that is because of the perspective and the curvature of the wheel itself. http://www.simoncars.co.uk/mg/slides/w_MG%20TD%20Midget%2019 51%20wheel.jpgI wish they were oval. Stock VW rims would look more original 😉

I don’t recall any posts reporting doing business with the new owners.

Good point Larry.
Yes, I was thinking VW pan, VW suspension.

Dick,
I believe the common wisdom is that standard VW shocks will work best for VW based TD Replica.
Coil-overs will only add stiffness to the suspention where you don’t need it!PMOSSBERG40749.5417824074
