21. Re: hydrolic fluid (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Sat, 8 Aug 1998 17:27:14 -0400 (EDT); Use brake fluid. You'll probably get a lot of responses to the effect that you shouldn't use standard DOT3 brake fluid because it rots the rubber parts in British hydraulic systems (brake and clutch); /html/mgs/1998-08/msg00431.html (8,207 bytes)
22. Re: More TD help (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1998 22:10:37 -0400 (EDT); It isn't clear from your description what Bob already has or what Moss Motors sold him. In the original setup the housing and thermostat mechanism were a single unit. You couldn't take it apart to r; /html/mgs/1998-08/msg01420.html (8,969 bytes)
23. Re: More TD help (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1998 08:41:55 -0400 (EDT); Don't block it completely! There needs to be some circulation through the block and head while the thermostat is closed in order to promote even warmup and to prevent localized hot spots.

24. Re: TD exhaust manifold/pipe gasket? (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Sat, 4 Jul 1998 20:14:00 -0400 (EDT); Even if the flange surfaces are perfectly flat you'll still have gasket failure if they don't align correctly with each other. That's difficult to accomplish when the exhaust manifold is clamped firm; /html/mgs/1998-07/msg00166.html (8,508 bytes)
25. Re: Turn Signals on a TC (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Tue, 7 Jul 1998 23:34:04 -0400 (EDT); Your father's TC beginning to sound more and more like an EXU model. Here are some clues to look for, although some of these may be missing or altered after all these years. A lot of EXUs were "resto; /html/mgs/1998-07/msg00354.html (10,402 bytes)
26. Re: SU damping (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Thu, 16 Jul 1998 23:42:51 -0400 (EDT); No, the viscosity of the oil determines how quickly the piston rises, but not how far it rises. The quantity of oil has very little effect unless it is very low, but does not affect how far the pist; /html/mgs/1998-07/msg00868.html (7,295 bytes)
27. Re: MG J type? (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Sat, 25 Jul 1998 15:43:12 -0400 (EDT); Early J2s had cycle wings, later ones had full wings. The car in the photo looks to me like a late J2, but I'll defer to someone more knowldgeable about pre-war MGs on that. -- Chip Old 1948 M.G. TC; /html/mgs/1998-07/msg01372.html (7,274 bytes)
28. Re: Did you ever wonder where your MGs went? (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Sat, 13 Jun 1998 08:47:23 -0400 (EDT); You're right, it's natural and is bound to happen. It's not a new phenomenon, either. From the mid 1960's through the late 1970's it was possible to buy T-Type and pre-war MGs in the UK at much lower; /html/mgs/1998-06/msg00938.html (9,045 bytes)
29. Re: TD float setting (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Sat, 27 Jun 1998 19:39:44 -0400 (EDT); The setting controls when the valve closes relative to float hight (and therefore fuel level in the float), so it is the same no matter what type of valve you use.

30. Re: Engine assembly lube the right stuff (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 11:47:05 -0400 (EDT); Not true. Lubriplate is probably the oldest and best-known of the commercial engine assembly lubes (and still my favorite), but there are others that are just as good. What I don't have much faith in; /html/mgs/1998-06/msg01779.html (7,721 bytes)
31. Re: flushing brake system (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@bcpl.net>; Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 12:19:43 -0400 (EDT); If you're disassembling and rebuilding the whole hydraulic system, flush the disassembled parts with denatured alcohol. Don't use rubbing alcohol; it has stuff in it that will leave a residue. Eithe; /html/mgs/1998-05/msg00080.html (7,238 bytes)
