Larry,
If you need them, I have originals of 1971 and 1972. I think it is
worthwhile to do 1970, 1971, 1972 as a start. All these were the same
quality print and paper so would benefit from updating.

Thanks, Bob Grunau

  No need to send anything to Lew. I have copies of all. I have a scanner
and good OCR software and will be glad to do it. As soon as you say "GO", I
will start the activity. Tell me which ones to do.
  Cheers--Larry

Hi Bob et al.

Whilst all this entheusiasm for retyping, improving,
selling copies, emailing etc, Lets not forget the
ownership of this material and the legal responsibility
to those owners.

Presumably copyright lies with either the MGCC
MMM Register or the individual contributors, and
suitable agreement must be obtained.

Hi All

I'm reaching the end of my J2 project. One item I did not do was stamp the engine number on the new block along with the bulk head placard and body plate. I would like to borrow a set of stamps that are close to the original size and correct font. If someone in North America? has a set to loan or rent please let me know. I will be happy to pay all cost in shipping.

Thanks Gary

Gary,
perhaps you want to know,
that concerning the bulk head brass plates,
only the "ENGINE NO." was stamped.
The "CAR NO." should be etched !

I want to get an assortment of proper threaded studs for my MG p types.  Many
of the studs particularly on the engine are either broken , bad threads or
replaced by bolts.  Does anyone have any extra or know where I can buy some.
I have tried emailing Namrick without a response. Jon from British fasteners
has been very helpful on how I can make some but doesn't have any studs

Autox.Team.net has blocked something I posted earlier today for some 
reason - perhaps because it contained a web-link to a very interesting 
preview trailer for a program airing on ESPN at 8:00 PM EST tonight about 
racing at Le Mans.

Try going to "truthin24.com" to see the trailer.

In the first moments of the video you will see some bits of footage from the 
1960s, including a few seconds of footage, right about when the announcer is 
saying "ultimate challenge," of a red MGB going off course.

It was blocked because it was NOT sent to mg-mmm but to 
"undisclosed-reciepients"

If you want to send something to mg-mmm at autox.team.net you send something to

Thanks, Mark -

I've been posting to the MMM list for several years with no problems, and 
continue to follow it even though now my only remaining Pre-War M.G. is an 
early TA.  After owning MMM  cars for over 30 years they sorta stay in your 
blood and, besides, there are too many good friends here to just sign off!

However, my original post generated the response you will see below.  I 
rather thought that a message of interest to auto enthusiasts in general and 
M.G. enthusiasts in particular would be welcomed on an M.G. owners forum, so 
I waited for nearly four hours and then sent a second post, the one that you 
saw and responded to.  THAT post apparently was also held and reviewed by 
the list moderators but was finally posted to the list eight hours later! 
The first post never appeared at all.

Message-ID: <49D1B2DB.1060609@ihug.co.nz>

Dear fellow listers,

I've discovered that my fuel tank is rather badly pinholed while 
attempting a "slosh" treatment. I feel the best solution might be to 
have the tank rebuilt. Are pressings of the tank sides available? I seem 
to recall that a batch was produced some time ago. I feel that a 
competent sheet metal worker should be able to rebuild the tank if new 
sides are available. The cost of shipping a new tank (if available) to 
this part of the world would go a long way to a rebuild.
