Bill, did you have any issues with connecting the VW speedo cable to the Dolphin speedo?Sam

The car is in New Bern…..Roy or Happy Jack do you know anything about it?

Bill, I checked out the Dolphin gauges. Looks like very good prices for a set. Were there any issues with speedo cable connections, oil pressure sender, etc.?Sam

But John, you are sooooo close!! I hate to see you pack it in now. I think all this will be forgotten when you resolve these last few things. Good luck either way.Sam

Ed, is there a pic of this mod. It sounds a lot easier than moving the ebrake handle having to cut and clamp the cables as others have done.Sam

Thanks. Guess I’ll never learn the “tricks” for a successful search. I’m use to typing in a key word or words and getting all posts that contain that word or words.Sam

Sorry. Tried that as well and the only thing that shows up with your name on it regarding odometer are the current posts. I even did the advanced search and still nothing. I’m not surprised. I’ve never had any luck getting the search on the site to work. Oh well.

Billnparts, can you post a link to your thread? I’ve tried to search for it but all that shows up is your latest post above referring to the VDO repair. Thanks.

I met Rockyx and his wife one one of my trips to St. Pete. It is very nice MGTDr.Sam

Ok here’s my vote. Even though I have a Cobra replica, I’m still pretty much a Chevy guy when it comes to vintage cars so I vote for the Corvette — no matter what year you choose. Also, for what it’s worth I have found that older Chevy parts are much more easily obtained and way cheaper that Ford parts. Plus I think the Corvette will hold it’s…[Read more]

I have also seen MG Midget or Austin Healy Sprite seats used and they fit and look good.Sam

My friend couldn’t find the paperwork for his bezel labels, but below is another source at $3.50/label.Round Toggle Switch Legend Plate :

I have a friend that got some of these switch labels for his Cobra at a reasonable price. I called him and he is going to try and find the info on where he bought them….it has been over a year so he doesn’t remember the name of the company at this moment. I’ll let you know when he gets back to me.Sam

It’s too bad it is blue…..If it were red, I jump right on it.Sam

I have ’65 Cobra replica that my wife has yet to ride in, but she likes to ride in my TDr. Guess I’ll have get back to work on it and get it running.Sam

Never tried it myself, but I had a guy that had built a lot of hot rods tell me he used peppermint extract to keep mice out of carpets,etc. Not sure if he put the drops of extract on the carpets or on a rag and then put the rag(s) where he wanted them. Guess the mice don’t like the smell of peppermint.Sam

For what it’s worth, I use to own a Sub Legacy station wagon and never got over 25 mpg at steady highway driving. Granted the MGTDr is lighter, but that was my experience.Sam

She lists it as a fiberglas plasi-chrome grill shell for  Duchess  MGTDr

Just saw a plastic/chrome grill shell on eBay for sale by Classic-Lady that is for a Duchess. Is this the standard grill shell for the Duchess and would it fit a Fiber Fab TDr?Sam
