Douglass,
Congratulations, that was a cheap fix.

You should contact Moss as I am sure they would want to know that your rotor
has failed.  ISTR a problem with their disty caps a few years back having a
similar problem.

Well you were all dead right. I was down there fiddling around just now and
while looking for something else I found the original tatty looking  Lucas
rotor arm that came with the car 11 years ago- which I had discarded in
favour a nice shiny new Moss one.

So having tried everything else I stuck in in and away it went. Good old
Lucas
- I will not insult their good name ever again, well probably.

Thanks

That was a very common problem with the Moss foreign made rotors. For a real
quality rotor, check Jeff Schlemmer's Advanced Distributor site at
http://advanceddistributors.com/index.htm

Scroll down halfway on the page and see the write-up on his red rotors.

Cheers,

Well yes and no  -  $90 for the tow home and $50 a new dist cap - but at least
I now have a spare dist cap, and I will buy one of those rotors for Jeff.

Thanks as always

tried attaching the strip with 3M adhesive or does it have to be nailed or
stapled to the cowl wood?

On my '52 is it attached directly to the cowl.  The strip stops just short
of the bracket.  I would think that if the bracket were on top of the strip
it would raise the bonnet out of alignment at that center point.

The rubber strip is cutaway for the bracket. It does not stop and then start
again at the bracket...some times the bracket will have to be shimmed tomake
the bonnet fit right.....and it was nailed in place.

Message-ID: <CAL+NFWdFf__Qsvnn5piy5bGZyq1dNEFdxZKpC0pcAafYhr8o-g@mail.gmail.com>

Mates

   We are almost ready for the excitement of the "engine drop" to put the
rebuilt motor back into the restored frame. Before doing these things to a
TD, I know enough to ask "dumb questions." So here goes:

   Can you do this? What I mean is can you just bolt the engine in the
frame or are there let's say "sheet metal considerations" where you later
find that a certain sheet metal panel or apron or such had to go under a
certain bolt or a shock or a rod before things are all buttoned up.

   It seems to me that on disassembly there were some real funky sheet
metal things going on around the front shock absorners, but of course this
could be my imagination or it could be that things weren't put back
correctly another time.

   Logically, you should be able to drop the drive train into the chassis
and roll -- or even drive it -- around.

Hi John,
   Just swing it in and bolt up the rubber mounts. The job is straightforward,
and there are no sheet metal considerations to worry about.
  Be careful to watch the little fork end dangling under the gearbox. Have a
helper guide it into place as the gearbox is settled into the support rubbers.
To me, that's the only tricky part of the installation.
  Fig A.7 shows the engine being lifted out of an assembled car.
  Fig R.2 shows the body being lowered onto chassis with engine in place.
Bob

Subject: [Mg-t] MG TD Barn find
Message-ID: <4EDA7EF6.2060801@britcars.com>

Fellow listers,

While checking on an MGB for sale recently, I came across a 1951 MG TD 
which had been sitting for many years under a lean-to shelter behind the 
house. After much difficulty I managed to get it into the daylight and 
found a remarkably good car which is missing its engine. Apparently, the 
story goes, the engine was sent away to be rebuilt and then the shop 
went out of business and the engine was never recovered. So, I now have 
available a TD with what appears to be a good body and doors, 
exceptionally good fenders, undamaged and with virtually no surface 
rust, complete hood assembly, perfectly straight front and rear 
valances, running, boards, excellent radiator shell and radiator, good 
windshield and original instruments in apparently very good condition. 
Based on Moss's prices for new fenders and the unavailability of decent 
radiator shells or early instruments, I'm hoping someone somewhere is 
interested in taking this car off my hands for a sensible price as 
either a car to part out or - preferably - to restore if they can find 
an engine for it.

I also have the original carburetors and complete air cleaner assembly, 
starter, generator, original transmission and other miscellaneous parts 
which I will sell separately or as part of the package. If you have an 
interest, please contact me off-line.

Oh, by the way, there was also a Judson supercharger for an MGA in the 
stuff that came with the car. Sensible offers for that, too, will be 
accepted, before I put it on e-Bay.

Hello list,
 
Got the SUs cleaned up and replaced a couple of questionable seals.  All

fine tune and sync them up.  
 
With linkages disconnected I and rev the motor to red line with the front

visible.  However, with the rear it won't rev all the way and the slide will
only go to the halfway mark.  Both slides move up and down freely by hand.
 
Check for air leaks & float levels, all appears to be good trying to do
everything by the book.
 
Any suggestions?

Remove the rear piston bell chamber and piston. Verify that the piston
can move within the piston bell chamber. Push it up all the way, and it
should drop by itself, from gravity. There could be a dent in the  
bell, that
stops the piston travel.

I have also encountered either the remains of parts from a damper being
in the tube of the piston. And, have had one case where just oil residue
kept things from moving easily. Empty out the oil from the tube, and  
look
inside. The "C" or "E" clip, and part of the damper piston, could be  
inside.
Or, it could just need a good cleaning out, with carb cleaner.

Sorry about that! I don't have a site of my own but you can find it in the 
Club newsletter
which is on our website: www.mgcc-ct.co.za      Look for the December 
"Breed" in MGCC-CT and you will find my article near the end.

Garth Green

Hi Garth,
   The team net trims off attachments.
   Do you have a site address we can use to read the article?

It depends which book you are using! See the attached article I have just

Subject: [Mg-t] SU Carbs!?!?!

Hello list,

Got the SUs cleaned up and replaced a couple of questionable seals.  All
back together, no leaks, jets centered, slides sliding.  Now I am ready to
fine tune and sync them up.

With linkages disconnected I and rev the motor to red line with the front
carb and watch the slide gradually go up until only about 1/4" remains
visible.  However, with the rear it won't rev all the way and the slide will
only go to the halfway mark.  Both slides move up and down freely by hand.

Check for air leaks & float levels, all appears to be good trying to do
everything by the book.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bill

What is the current fluid(f) of choice to soak in when cleaning carbs for
re-building?  I have used Lacquer Thinner and Berryman's B-12 in the past.

Berryman's is still one of the best for dissolving residue.  Then for  
assembly I spray all parts with starting fluid to get rid of any particles and  
it leaves it very clean.  Then I use a light clean oil for assembly.

Not a barn find, but a junk yard spotting, any help with identification
would be appreciated.
 
Thought it might be a TR1800 but the door is not right, could be a Morgan.
Just wondering if it would be worth going back and inquiring.

Particularly those hairy, tooled leather bonnet straps the owners seem so very fond of!

But a funny Morgan story:  my buddy had a black +4 and wanted to convert it to something called a Super Sports (or perhaps just Sport) model.  Apparently it required different bonnet side panels from his Standard model.  
What to do?
He ordered new side panels directly from Morgan using the serial number of his car!
We spent months listening to tales of how Morgan kept wonderfully complete records on every car they made..had the best support of any company...hand made...true craftsmanship....blah, blah, blah..
The panels arrived at long last, and after filler priming, sanding, painting, careful polishing, delicate handling, ad nauseum, the panels were fitted and the bonnet closed.
We all watched as the bonnet was carefully, gently, lovingly, lowered.....to find Morgan made it five inches too shallow on one side, four on the other.
We rolled on the grass, lol!

Not a barn find, but a junk yard spotting, any help with identification

would be appreciated.



Thought it might be a TR1800 but the door is not right, could be a Morgan.

Just wondering if it would be worth going back and inquiring.

Subject: [Mg-t] SU Carb Question
Message-ID: <D91C306598604C1897EBE89F10AB9800@bboffice>

Helping a friend re-build his H2 carbs on his TD and after disassembly I
noticed that the ring on top of the body, after removal of the piston/slide,
has two screws and two holes that vent to the outside of the body. On one
unit of these the holes have been sealed up with JB-Weld(?) and the other
unit has the holes open to the atmosphere.

So, inquiring minds want to know, should these be sealed up or left open?

TIA for all the help!

Bill

Better than a Morgan. It is a Riley RMC Roadster from 1948-1951. Worth serious
money if restored.

Well, I got to take a closer look, some panels are bent but not crushed,
everything is rusted in the usual places near the wheels and frame.  No
electrics, no interior, dash or steering.  I should say no engine, but there
is an old Chevy 235 in-line six with what looks to be a power-glide
transmission attached just laying in there.   All wood will need to be
replaced.
 
No ID Plate but from what I have learned it w probably and RMC as the space
behind the seats would accommodate only a set of golf clubs.
 
Tried to pin him down on what he wanted for it, but all I got was stalling,
he seems to think there is some one on the internet that will give him a
fair price.
 
Anyone have a suggestion on what you would be expected to pay for something
like this?  Obviously, this will take several years and many, many hours to
get into road trim.
 
TIA,
Bill

The last unrestored car I know of to sell in Australia was in worse condition,
although complete, and it went for $7500 Australian.

Subject: [Mg-t] Which Generator to Buy
Message-ID: <D41EE0DF20A47D48BF555A3204A3B9E54D1CB013@MSERVER.PLASSERUSA.com>

Hello Everyone,

I am once more going out to the list for your knowledge.  I am looking to buy
a portable generator.  My last one has a burnt out stator and parts are no
longer available.  It is a Coleman Powermate Maxa 5000 ER with a Tecumseh 10
hp engine. If anyone has a good stator or is in need of a unit with a burnt
out stator (the engine runs great and has hardly been used) lets talk.

What do you recommend as a brand and or model? I was looking for something in
the 8000 watt range.  The generator repair shop which checked out my old unit
recommended Generac as a good brand to go with.  Looking at their generators
they offer so many different types in the same power range.

Appreciate any advice you can give me.

Happy New Year,
