Anyone out there have any recommendations for transporting a non-running 
LBC (1934 Singer LeMans) from San Francisco to Claremont in southern Cal?  
Ideally on a platform truck but could be a trailer. 
 
An alternative that Terry Sanders and I have toyed with is us taking it 
down ourselves and looking for someone wishing to deliver a similar size car 
north.  MG is the marque of choice of course!  If you're interested let either 
of us know.

This would be a January event.

We have used these people for a number of years and are well satisfied with 
their service.
They are located in Oklahoma & have a network of haulers that they contact 
within the area that you are interested in pick up & delivery.  Both open 
and closed trailers.  If it is not an immediate requirement they can get you 
a hauler at a much better price than others.  They look for haulers with 
open space & they bid on the haul.  Don't think you can beat their price if 
you don't need immediate pick up.  Have never had a problem with their 
service.

Bill, below is what I just penned [minutes ago] to a gent 
on the Big Healey List.

My recommendation for both [inorder] stands for you 
situation also <G> !!

I do know there ARE other GOOD firms that runs ads 
in Hemmings also.

I have also read TRUE HORROR stories on small thru
OPEN carriers !!!  Make POSITIVE you are dealing
with ONE Company and NOT [under ANY circumstances]
a Broker !!!

*****************************************************
<<any suggestions on how to get it to the USA.?>>

V****, since we are talking INTER-NATIONAL my 1st
[and strongest] suggestion would be Intercity.  They
run ads in Hemmings, Healey Marque IIRC and Austin-
Healey magazines !!  And I do know of a good number
of Big Healey folks that have used them and ARE very
happy.  You CAN use the autox archive link to look up
comments on the Big Healey List Archive using the link
at bottom of every Spridgets at AutoX.Team.Net to
accesses the Big Healey Archives.

My second pick would be Federal express [WAS
Passport Transportation and that Owner was a BIG
TIME LBCer].  My only draw-back to them is that it IS
well known that their "brokerage" fees CAN be damned
steep - on a car I just do NOT have any clue.

The "international" part is what he REALLY MUST
pay [NOT an intended pun<G>] attention to.

HTHS & Good Luck !!

Man, have I gotten LOST in this old British archive. Get a beer and a cigar
and watch this 1951 British flick. The acting is...stilted?  But the the
footage of the 1951 Alpine Rally is great. The star is an MG TD with proper
engine sound recording. Would you race a TD with no roll bar, with your two
kids in back, while your little daughter poured coffee for you out of a
thermos? There's more!  How about a TD out-accelerating an XK120?  Or a '51
Skoda fishtailinhg through the hairpins. Play "name the cars!" Watch for the
villain and his pencil-thin mustache. His portly sidekick is a young
Sebastian Cabot.

A local Brit-owned inn offers MG and LBC-themed weekend getaways for clubs and

self-guided tour of this beautiful part of the state, and other activities and
daytrips.  Right now they're taking reservations for summer 2010, if anyone is
looking for a group cruise destination in New England.  Mount Snow area.



NFI, but the inn-owners, Alison and Simon Ferris are good friends.

I'm helping a friend replace the hub seals and bearings on his MGTC.  It
has a spridget pumpkin in a TC housing, and wire wheels. The right axle
came right out and is finished. The left axle comes out about 1" and will
not come out any farther.  Its an old style TC axle that is a taper fit
with keyway to the outer hub.  What could possibly be holding it in?  Even
if the splines are twisted a bit, this sucker should have come out by now.
 No way to pull the diff carrier till this bugger lets go.
Any thoughts besides a giant slide hammer?

Thanks,
Glen

By the way, the A35 saloon is now living in a covered garage in Sacramento
and will be dolled up for "Hot August Nights" this next year in Reno.  The
new owner is a body/paint guy who will really give it what it needed.

First, if it is a taper to the hub, it is not original.  Original hubs 
and axles are splined.  That is irrelevant for the problem at hand.  
Usual method to pull a TC axle is to remove the wheel, undo the nuts 
holding the hub to the bearing carrier, replace the knockoff  then 
hammer on the back side of the knockoff ears to remove the axle.

Simple, get a 3/8" or 1/2" steelrod about 30" long , go in from the open end
and tap the stuck axle out. The spider gear has a cross inside with a hole
in the center for the rod to pass through and allow you to tap out the stuck
axle. Piece of cake. Not unusual to have a stuck spline inside.

Opppps, sorry, Midget pumpkin did not reach my brain, Spridget diffs are
different.  So the straight round rod will not work, instead you need a
narrow flat bar to pass by the single shaft holding the spider gears in the
diff, about 1/4" a 1" x 30"  flat bar should do it.

Message-ID: <20091222.145807.2316.0.MGBOB@juno.com>

    Does anyone know a source for the water pump seal that Phil Marino
used in his modified TD pumps?  
    It's a DILITEX, Made in UK, W 4 seal, that appears to have been a
pair of lip seals separated by a spring.  
    Phil can't find the seals from his source; I have been unable to find
DILITEX, except in references to a lawsuit and sale to a trading company
in India, and have not yet found a cross to another brand. Phil has
worked up a modification for the modified pumps, but if we could find
that W 4 seal it would be good for every one

Bob
