Actually, using the VW hood latch is unlike “most” TD replicas and for some reason, many of the instruction manuals told the builder to hinge the hood on the passenger side, opening it from the driver side.As far as VW based TD replicas go, the British Coach works is the only one I’m aware of that uses the VW hood latch. Most use two simple boat…[Read more]

Asked and answered before I got back here.
But (and I’m working solely on memory here), yes, I recall all of the above was correct for Classic roadsters. Ford engine, Chevette rear. No idea why they went that way tho.

Back in the day…1982…when Classic Roadsters Ltd. delivered my Duchess kit (with their own staff, and on their own trucks!), the delivery guys told me they were running a front engine V6 Duchess around at the factory.I forget the details. But even with the additional engine weight, they said it would get the front wheels off the ground if you…[Read more]

That’s a pretty little car Ed.
The British Coach Works is such a nice replica. 

Hi Migi….

You won’t find any “parts stores” per se for kit car parts. But the best source for parts for any MG TD replica is MG Magic.

I saw two versions Richard.

So I don’t think you are doing anything wrong. :0
 

I agree with you Mark. But…
Daytons will run over $2,000 for a set of four. Nobody ever said Truspokes were cheap. But for someone commited to real wires, they ae less than Dayton.

Thanks Mel.
Sorry to bother you again…but how thick is your dash?
 

How did you resolve the “short stems”?

As you can tell from my car, I also prefer the steel wheel with an MG style hubcap. And wires were never a factory option for the original MG TD.
But to each his own! And for those looking for wires, Truspoke also makes them. The wheels on this page may fit Ford or Checy bolt patterns:

That collage is awesome Richard. Had a slow day today eh?

We’re just tougher here in the north! Or perhaps crazy.I read today the “real feel” temperature (that’s with the wind chill factor) in Bismarck North Dakota on Wednesday was 52 degrees below zero.NJ will be about a zero with the wind chill this weekend. Heck, that’s down right balmy by comparison!

Hi Ed.Yes to the Frank question. You can also donate via PayPal. There is a link over in the left panel. You do not need your own PayPal account.

That is pretty cool Doug.How do you charge it up? And how long must it be on the charger to go from dead to full charge?

It’s that global warming thing!
