Good Day Listers .

 

A bitter sweet story.

 

A good number of years ago, the Co-Founder of the New England MG T Register,
Frank Churchill # 2 was killed in a tragic accident in Middlebury, VT while
driving his TD.

 

The TD he died in was extensively damaged and has resided with the Sander
Family in Jeffersonville, Vermont since then. Dave Sander took it upon
himself for lovingly resort TD 28929, the car the Frank loved so much.

 

Dave displayed the car, which was still is pieces a few weeks ago at the
Vermont Automobile Enthusiasts, club meeting. He explained its history and
the damage he discovered and the unexpected surprises he found while in the
restoration process.  It is a fine job and Dave has returned a piece of M.G.
history to the road.

 

Below, is an excerpt of the email that Dave sent to me yesterday.

 

Gene, its official, the car is back together, loaded on the truck and ready
to go to the GOF. (Oneonta, NY, May 6 to 9, 2010) .

 

I still have a few loose ends to button up, but it is essentially done.. I'm
sure there are people who would like an update.

Thanks, 

David

TD  28929 (NEMGTR old#2)

Gene --

Thanks so much for letting us know that Frank's car lives again!

Frank was one of the first people I met when I joined the Register shortly 
after purchasing my TD in 1973. It was always a pleasure to see him at 
Gatherings, and I can still remember the shock I felt when we heard of his 
death.

We'll be looking for Dave and the TD this weekend in Oneonta.

Terry, when Denver told us about his first race there in his TC when he rolled 
 the car by the bridge? he said a bunch of folks came down to the car 
(upside  down) and someone said "Is he alive?"  He said, "Why don't you turn the

On Saturday, May 29, at 9:30 am, there is an informal get-together at Hemmings
Motor News in Bennington, Vt, with British MG owner Roger Pratten, who is
touring the U.S. & Canada in his 2003 MG TF 135.

I'm planning to attend with my '54 TF, and I'd love to see a good turnout from
MG owners.  If anyone lives in the area or may happen to be in the area that
weekend, it's a chance to get a good look at modern MG and chat with a fellow
enthusiast from across the pond.

If anyone needs directions or other information, let me know.

"for sale, a 1930 MG M-Type Boat-tail Speedster. This car is probably the only

Message-ID: <8CCC81FE29A4A1A-87C-21153@webmail-d012.sysops.aol.com>

 Hi All,

Last fall just before storage I lost the brakes on the TD and put off the
bleeding project til this spring.

All went well in the bleeding process and my brakes pumped up well and very
stiff to the push on the brake pedal.

Went out for a cruise today and brakes worked fine the first few pushes on the
pedal and then all the way to the floorboard the pedal went, good thing for a
convenient emergency brake !!!

Then after letting up on pedal they were good again for the next few times and
then again all the way to the floorboard. It then seemed like they would be
good for 2, 3 or 4 times and then all of a sudden the pedal would bottom out
but right after letting up on the pedal the next push would be good.

Any suggestions ??  Seems like master cylinder problem, not sure if it is bad,
needs parts or something else ....


I was also looking on the Moss site at master cylinders and it seems it
depends how old you cylinder is what parts are available.  Are there other
outlets for master cylinders or parts beside Moss ??

Yes, it sounds like the master cylinder.
 From 1995 through 2003, the piston and other rubber parts of the master
cylinders were changed. The piston and the rubber plunger are held  
together
by a circlip. The center of the plunger cup is open, so that it can  
fit onto the
back of the master cylinder. The master cylinder rebuild kit, Moss  
Motors
part no. 182-910, has rubber components for old as well as new style
master cylinders. If you disassemble the master cylinder, and all  
parts look
like those pictured in the MG TD/TF Workshop manual, section M,  
brakes, then
you need the original kit, 180-910.
When installing the pressure seal on the piston, the one that goes on  
the front
of the piston, make sure that it seats over the ridge on the piston.  
Use a thin blade
screwdriver, once you get the seal pulled over the exterior of the  
piston, and in
position, to ensure that the seal is properly straddling the ridge.  
If you aren't sure,
try installing the piston into the cylinder backwards. If it takes a  
little effort to push
the piston in, and a lot of effort to remove the piston, then the  
seal has not seated
on that ridge. Run the thin blade screwdriver around the contact area  
between the
seal and the piston, and test again. If it pulls out with some  
effort, it is still not seated.
Remember, when installed, the spring pressure has to push the piston  
back to the
rest position.

Sounds to me like you may have a master cylinder piston that is  hanging up 
in the cylinder and not returning to its full "off" position.  This prevents 
the pedal from getting the full stroke  when you apply the brakes and gives 
the sensation of a resistance free pedal going to the floor. Remember there 
is a pedal return spring in addition to the return spring internal to the 
master cylinder.  The brakes may also drag in this type situation.  Make 
sure the internal return spring is in good shape and that there is no rust 
in the cylinder that is causing the piston to hang up.  Sometimes the 
interval of time between brake applications will allow the piston to slowly 
return to its full off position thus giving you a very erratic brake 
operation.

Anyone have thoughts on where to mount lap belts on a TF?  The floor seems to
be the best bet as far as I can see.  The vertical area directly behind the
seats seems a little too flimsy - just thin sheetmetal.   Nothing seems
optimal.

Mike,
You are most likely going to end up taking out your floor boards to
get to a solid area. I ended up mounting the outer belt to the body
mounting bolt to the outer rear side of each seat which worked out
very nicely, I had to put a slightly longer bolt in.

On the tunnel side I had to do some strangness. If you look at my
pictures you will see I drilled into the site of the solid tunnel ears
on the back cross beam. With the floor boards out I threaded the seat
belt up from the bottom of the car around the floor boards as I
installed them and it worked out fine. You will see what I am talking
about in pic IMG00136.

Drop me a note if you need any better pictures. This was done on a 1955 TF
1500.

  There does not seem to be an optimal site. Horst Schach (sp?)in his book on
TD restoration, showed his installation of three-point belts.
   Some drill through the floorboards for the belt bolts and run it through a
piece of band iron looped around the cross member.
   The challenge is to keep a passenger's head from smiting either wiper motor

A couple of us in New Zealand have used a modification of the 3 point
belt layout shown in the Horst Schach book.

Tunnel and floor mount just behind the door are the same. However the
rear mount is on the top of the wheel arch rather in the back corner of
the floor. Neater look. Steel "L" plates are attached to the inside of
the wheel arch to support the belt-mounting nut which is welded to the
underside of the plate. The "L" shaped strengthening plates are made in
two parts and welded together. Top plate is curved to match wheel arch
and the top side plate has a curved top edge. Cardboard templates were
made and then the plate was laser cut and welded. Plates are attached by
short allen headed screws and nuts - these don't show through the
padding. Of course this was done before trimming.

These were certified as satisfactory by local govt-certified hot rod
inspectors. He commented that if you came to a stop with enough Gs to
pull the plate through the wheel arch you would be dead anyway!

Having said all that - I have still not got round to fitting the belts!
Left them out because I wanted to do a couple of concourse while it was
still pristine. Must do it this winter.

Cheers

Douglas

I do not believe in seat belt in MGT cars unless you are racing. The  
steering wheel is pointed directly to my heart and if the car turns  
over the windshield will fold and if there is a passenger than there  
is no room for two people under the dash. I would rather be thorn out  
hanging on to the door, which will break off and be a sled.

I used extra long belts and anchored the rear directly to the frame just
outboard of the side curtain box in my TD. The belt crosses the rear
storage compartment just inside the wheel well indentation.
I made little leather loops attached to the seat back screws at the
shoulder to keep them from dropping down beside the door.

Well it brobably comes down to probablity of being in a a crash serious
enough to roll the car. In a crash where the car remails the right way
up I think seat belts would be an advantage and reduce injury. You may
be right about the roll over - but what % of accidents involve a roll
over. I would suspect less than 10%.

Anyone out there got the data?

By the "looks" of the pic Curt, sure does NOT look
safe to me with the belt 'folded' over the steel piece
and the past the edge of board !!!

"Looks" like serious & pre-mature failure WILL occur ?!?

Unfortunatly the pictures do not do it justice, the metal that the
belt is looped around is actually not sharp at all. I had the same
inital concent but after investigation it is no shaper then the metal
loop the belt is tied to from the belt factory. Where the belt
overlaps the metal the belt is actually doubled up in material in that
areas. I did put some protective material around the edge of the board
to prevent the wood from tearing the belt in any way.

Unfortunatly there is no real good spot so you do the best you can and
at the end of the day it is better then no belts at all :)  That is if
you have the opinion belts are better then no belts :)

Thanks for the concern!

Curt, 
Outside of welding in cross members, your method looks perfectly safe.
Nearly any belt is better than none!   There have been lots of fatalities in t cars over the years due to no seat belts. 
Gene Gillam and his wife of this list probably would have been far more badly injured In their cruzin the coast crash without the minimal protection of lap belts.

WHY do you want to 'do' shopping malls or hotel balcony's

Well, on the balcony, you can set your drink on the windshield when you need to reload.  Assuming you remembered how to fold it!
