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.

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

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

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

That’s too funny! Man, you used every cc of that 1300! Wish I could run the video in reverse…THAT would be a scream.

Wow! That is cool!Welcome back!

Rattle can!Except for an electric drill, I built my Duchess with hand tools…including the rattle can undercoat and black paint.
