Bob,
Now that you've decided to join the group of aficionado's of the MG world
with your recent purchase of what must be a fine TD you are going to find a
whole new world of needed tools, especially the whitworth wrench and socket.
TD's use a combination of threaded fittings ranging from the "Nuffield
Metric" to the various BSF and Unified threads.
For most "nut and bolt" tightening I would recommend a good set of
Whitworth's.
Since you can conceviably take the TD apart with a "cresent wrench and vice
grips" (not recommended) the entire assembly is avaiable for exploring.
I sure that other list TD owner's can give you the OHMIGAWD, on what parts
to do the "chant of never break" as for me.. I would say the rear-end and
gearbox.
I have found MOSS to be the best source but there are others, and I have
found the used parts vendors to be very reliable and reasonable in price. I
would recommend the Shade Tree Motors.
Well, enjoy.. and if I can be of help... give me a call.
Rob and Tommie
