Bob:
Thanks for the advice on the gage. Now I just need to figure out when I am
going to pull it and get a plug for the oil pan so I can drive the car while
the gage is out.
Sorry to hear about TEXMOG, but I understand family comes first and they
grow up pretty fast.
As to the shifter, well I guess the thinking man's Morgan triumphs over the
Triumph (sorry, couldn't resist). I have a push-pull shifter and since it
is not a direct connection, is isolated by rubber washers, and is sooooooooo
long most of the heat is dissipated by the time it gets to the point you
row.
A/C in an MG, shocking.

I may not be able to make TEX MOG in September as it is being held on
the weekend of my daughters birthday. However I hope to attend Blair -MOG
in Va Beach August 28 to September 3rd. ( Hint to John )
I finally got Duchess back together and have been working the bugs out .
Yesterday took her on a 20 mile spin down the freeway in midday. Temp was
107 f according to the radio and 111 f according to the bank sign on the
road side. The gear lever was so hot I had to use a rag to shift and I had
to keep moving my foot because the petal heat.
( I think its rather funny, got a nice Mog just waiting for the summer to
end so I can drive it , mean while my summer car, a MGBGT (with A/C) pulls
daily duty.
Texas is the Bizarro World of LBCs.

John:
Mo-Ma did my Morgan gauges many years ago. The did a beautiful job
recreating the ivory facings and overhauling the innards. I've since had
them do some work on my Healey gauges. I'm sure they could do all and more
of what you're interested in. I'd recommend them. They're in Albuquerque
at (505) 766-6661. I've no interest in the business, just a satisfied
customer.
