I’ve got to buy 4 new tires for my 1981 replica of a 1952 MGTD. I’m undecided whether I should get all black wall tires or whitewall with the wide whitewall. What was the most popular sidewall back in 1952.
the tires are 165/80 R 15

what do you mean Ed? Tha rear of the car is on ramps right now so the oil is flowing towards the front of the transmission.

Anyone know what I should be using for manual transmission oil? Is it just 90 weight gear oil. I may just drain it, clean the magnet on the drain plug then fill it up with good new oil.

I found a 22 MM wrench and loosened the switch. I removed it just far enough to find that gear oil will run out. Not sure if I can make the swap without making a mess. Now I need to find the fill plug.

My replica is on a VW pan has a “Y” frame around the Fwd end of the transmission and then down to one frame. Like dual exhaust going down to single exhaust.
Is it OK to put a piece of 4 X 4, 16” long across that “Y” right at the end of the transmission and place the floor jack under that to jack up the entire back end of the car -

Oh I did find my problem. One of the electrical contacts on the switch was broken off.

It was easy to find not fun getting it out. I thought I had all the tools I would need. Wrong. Got to go th Harbor Freight and get what I need.
Paul, do you or anyone else know that when I remove this switch, will I get a mouth full of gear oil? It a very hard place to get to and I don’t think I could put it back in fast enough to stop the o…[Read more] -

WOW! $15,000 for that car. Seems like a lot off money because it needs a lot of body work and entire paint. I just bought one a week ago for $6,500 and mine looks so much better than that one

thanks Chris. I did check them and they looked good. I going to have to trace the wires all the way back to the floor dinner switch and then to the dash switch. That’s where I think I’m going to have a issue. Tracing the wires is going to be difficult because they are all hidden behind panels. I’m going to try and get the car way off the floor…[Read more]

I need to figure out why either side low beam lights do not work. I’ve checked the bulbs on a battery and they are good.
I need to get to the backside of the foot dimmer switch. Anyone know how to get access to it?

Hi everyone. I just purchased a MGTD kit car. The near I can make out is that the VW pan and engine is either a 1969 or 1970. The replica was made in 1981.
My backup light does not work. The bulb is good. Can someone tell me where the switch is and how do I get to it?
