[Mg-t] TC start up

[mgbob at juno.com]

   Is power to be found at wire to the pump?   Is pump well earthed?   If power is there, have you tapped the pump with a screwdriver handle?   Have you cleaned the pump's contact books?      As for doors, easiest way is to make a cardboard template of the doors before installing the panels.   If doors are already in place, try snipping heads off a dozen number four finishing nails to make them about 3/4 inch long.  Prise back the panel, slip a nail into each of the old screw holes, press the panel back against the nails. That will mark about where the holes go, and then you have some guidance for drilling. This I have done successfully.   Something I have not done, but might be worth a try would be to clamp the hardware to the side curtains, then have someone hold them in place against canvas top, the other curtain, and the windscreen. You, inside the car, might be able to set the hardware against the panels and mark the holes for drilling.   Using a small soldering iron's tip to melt a hole in vinyl will reduce the tendency of the vinyl to tear when drill goes through.Bob

Tried to start the TC today.  Cranks gut no gas. check the obvious, but still no pumping.  Looking for progression list to follow.  Also looking for a way to locate the holes on the panels (for the side screen and door hardware) in that the panels cover the existing holes and t-nuts.
 Thanks
