I have a request for a radiator shop that does fuel tanks. The HRG's
needs to be flushed out. Contacted Dutton Radiator but they seem
reluctant to do fuel tanks. Radiators fine.

Anyone out there have a recommendation?

Cheers,

Wendell

Wendell, I took the fuel tank from my MGA Coupe up to Norcal stripping in
Windsor for flushing and cleaning.  It had over 25 years of stinky gas
lacquer at the bottom.  They did a great job, better than the new ones from
Moss.

Better yet (and loads cheaper),  get a POR-15 fuel tank restoration kit. Slosh
the Marine Clean and a handful of old nuts and bolts around for 5 minutes,
followed by the zinc coating and finally POR tank sealant, and it will be good
forever. I restored both of my '65 Cooper S tanks 10 years ago this way, and
they still look brand new inside. They had rust and pin holes in the seams
before the treatment.

I also had all of the local places at the time quote the job, and those who
would do it were way too expensive and charged extra to seal and coat the
tanks after cleaning.

Andy, at least you have the option of a new tank from Moss.
Thanks to all for the info.

Hello all,
 
I'm still chasing some gremlins in my Aceca and believe my
radiator may not be flowing well so I want to have it checked out.  I've heard
some not-so-complimentary comments about Dutton Radiator and want to see if
anyone out there has any positive recommendations and/or experience with
another shop.  Retaining the original appearance of the radiator is important
to me so if a new core is needed, some old school piecing together skills
would be required.
 
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hey Greg,

I've had good luck at Merv's Radiator Service in Petaluma, they re-cored my 
TR4 radiator, and I've heard good reports from a lot of others about them. 
They have been there for years.

Greg, I've only had good experiences with Dutton radiator and don't use any
other shop.  They've cleaned re-cored and repaired every radiator on all my
cars and done great work.  They get the thumbs up from me.

Hi

Well they are in San Francisco but Alois on Divisadero are excellent - they
rebuilt the core of my morris minor rad using the outer parts so it looked the
same including the  old brass plate on it and said 'we love working on these
old rads' - genuinely - a relief from the modern mass produced stuff. They are
a big shop but local and well know in SF.

Howdy!

They just got a round-tailed Spitfire at Pick n pull (I think it's a
69 or 70). Good looking engine. 3 transmissions (one mounted, one
wrapped in plastic, and one just sitting. Decent quarters. Front has a
dent. Rear bumpers are in good shape, and dismounted. Soft-top frame
in decent shape. Driver's seat kind of twisted.

They have a square-tail sitting, waiting to clear paperwork, so I
haven't seen it yet, except through the fence.

These are the 2 that I emailed club members about a couple of months back.
There were no takers, so I loaded up all the spare parts inside them and
had Pick Pull haul them away. The 1200 engine turns over with a wrench, it
might fire up. Dawson

A drive is planned for Saturday the 13th.

 

Let's meet at Bad Ass Coffee in Santa Rosa at 10am.

 

Maybe those Lemons guys will come back?

 

And whatever happened to Dawson? And Rich? Those twins must be grown up by
now!

 

Crab Sandwiches in Bodega Bay?  BBQ in Calistoga?

Fried Chicken in Vallejo? A sack lunch overlooking the Pacific?

The Taco Truck at Lytton Springs?  Who ever knows?

 

Bring a full tank of gas, a lunch if you wish, and a folding chair is always
a good idea.

Hi,

 

I have been a member for 7 years now. What a lot of fun and memories!

 

What I want to say is that there is little or no correlation between the
amount

of email responses to a ride announcement and the amount of members that
show up.

 

It's all random. 

 

I would say, judging by the last few rides, that there will probably be a
big turn out tomorrow.

But only time will tell.

 

You just have to be there to find out!!!!!!!!!!

 

See you tomorrow,

 

JOHN KENNER

Moss: We Are Honored to Carry the Name


September 26, 2012

Al Moss, the founder and spirit of Moss Motors passed away Tuesday night,
September 25, 2012. Here in our building and in our catalogs, too, Al’s
presence is still palpable and will be, we hope, as long as we are in
business. We are better because of it.

Moss Motors didn’t start out to be a restoration parts business at all, and
if E. Alan Moss had bought a Ford instead of an MG TC things might have
turned out very differently indeed! Al was then a young man living in the
emerging Los Angeles powerhouse, and the lure of the TC, known as “The
Sports Car America Loved First,” was irresistible. After reading about the
successful road rallies being held on the East Coast, Al decided to organize
one of the first West Coast rallies, this being the summer of 1948.

The rally, which ironically enough ended in Santa Barbara, brought Al into
contact with a bunch of fellow MG enthusiasts. However, apart from a passion
for British cars they all shared a common problem-parts for these cars were
just not available at the local service station and invariably had to be
specially ordered to keep these early post-war vehicles on the road. Al had
served an apprenticeship in front-end alignment and owned some garage
equipment. He saw an opportunity to combine his love for sports cars with
the chance to make a living, figuring that a shop working on front ends and
the occasional TC of a friend, might work out.

So he took the chance and rented a shop at 3200 Olympic Boulevard in Los
Angeles, where the very first Moss Motors sign was hung outside the door.
More than the sign was hanging out here, however. Al’s British car-owning
buddies started to hang out at the shop, and more than once the shop closed
its doors for an afternoon because his friends wanted to drive to somewhere
more “interesting!” Under Al’s leadership this bunch became the “Foreign
Car Group”-one of the first sports car clubs in California. An attorney
among them had suggested they used the word ‘Group’ instead of ‘Club’ to
avoid potential insurance problems. Another collection of sports car
enthusiasts gathered at Al’s shop every Saturday calling themselves the
“Moss Motors Luncheon & Bench Racing Society”.

Moss Motors was, by now, doing a great deal more than just front end work
with Al buying and selling a few cars later in 1948. One TC Al sold for
$1100 was to a teenager named Howard Goldman. Two years later Howard bought
another TC from Al (which he still owns!). They became firm friends, and
this friendship was to have far reaching implications.

The logical expansion of this growing business was to begin selling new
cars, and in the spring of 1950 Al became the West Coast distributor for
Allard Cars bringing the first Cadillac powered Allards to the area. In
addition he also became the L.A distributor for the Rootes Group selling
Hillmans, Humbers and the Sunbeam-Talbot lines. The Allards were fast and
had a richly deserved reputation for being extremely difficult to drive. Al
raced one with some success, but a serious accident in January 1951
convinced him that his future might lay in other pursuits. He’d never
really enjoyed the new car sales end of the business and so he sold the
distributorships, in order to concentrate on the service and parts work he
loved the best. Al moved to a new facility on Pico Boulevard, however, he
soon outgrew this location and moved again, this time to Venice, just west
of Los Angeles proper.

Throughout the late 1950s, service work was the prime function of Moss
Motors, however, since the MG TC had gone out of production in 1949, being
superseded by the MG TD, parts availability was becoming a major problem. Al
began to buy up lots of obsolete parts and even ventured into manufacturing
some items. Thus with a supply of parts to support his own service needs,
and an ever-growing demand from people who wished to undertake their own
restoration and repair, Al prospered. Eventually, with more and more owners
calling for spare parts it seemed logical to produce a modest catalog, and
thus the first TC catalog appeared in 1962.

By now, Howard Goldman together with his brother Philip, had, in 1958,
relocated their family-owned company some 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles
to the scenic city of Santa Barbara. After numerous visits with his friend
Howard, Al decided to relocate Moss Motors to Goleta, a small town adjacent
to Santa Barbara in 1961. And, with the mail order side of the business
expanding rapidly, the decision was taken to drop the service side of the
operation.

Al was also going international at this time, making frequent trips to
England to purchase discontinued parts which his customers urgently
required. And Moss entered the computer age in 1970 with the purchase of an
early IBM card based system. Rumor has it, that this very machine can be
seen in some distant computer Hall of Fame! Also during the early 70′s, two
junior members of staff joining Al were, Glen Adams, the current President
of the company, and Chris Kepler, currently Vice President of Operations,
and both are still here forty years later!



Glen Adams, Al Moss and Chris Nowlan.

The business continued to grow as enthusiasts embraced the British sports
car movement and Moss expanded by adding parts and catalogs for the MGA, the
early MGB, The Austin-Healey and the Jaguar XK120-140-150 series. In 1977 Al
purchased 48 tons of ‘obsolete’ inventory directly from Standard Triumph
in England, a shipment which filled no less than four 40ft containers, and
was in fact, the largest single buyout of TR2-3-4 spares ever! Thus, in 1978
Moss Motors published the world’s first comprehensive TR2-3-4 catalog and
this publication also represented a new philosophy. The catalog illustrated,
and listed, virtually all the parts that would ever be needed for these
cars, even if the parts were no longer available at press time. This made
the catalog a valuable restoration aid and reference guide and set the
standard for all future Moss Motors catalogs.



A track favorite, Al raced his “MG” Morgan Three-Wheeler.

By 1978 Moss Motors was supplying parts for British sports cars to customers
worldwide, and in fact the business had become so large that it had ceased
to be fun for Al, being more like work! It was at this time, that his
long-time friend, Howard Goldman, offered to purchase the entire Moss Motors
operation. Al eventually took him up on his offer and entered
semi-retirement to spend much of his time restoring and racing his
collection of British sports cars at his home in Arizona.

At the age of 80, at the urging of his many friends, Al wrote his
autobiography: The Other Moss: My Life with Cars and Horses. Certainly there
will be many additional stories shared of the adventurous, thoughtful and
humor-filled life Al Moss vibrantly lived. We are saddened by his passing,
but so enriched by him having been with us

Being part of that "Golden Age" I am familiar with some of the clips. I
bought my 49TC in 53 and drove it daily from Marin to San Francisco State.
In 55 I bought a AH100 in DC and drove it from Quantico VA to San Francisco
in 56. A long line of the LBCs followed. Cheers, Robin

You all have been quite.

 

Our next ride is scheduled for tomorrow 10/27/12

 

I'm not sure I can make it as I am battling a nasty case of poison oak.

But I might.

 

Weather is supposed to be fantastic!

 

Anyway, you all should meet at bad ass coffee at 10am and go on a ride.

 

Anybody got a good idea?

 

Hope to see you tomorrow

 

And as always, bring a full tank of gas, a lunch and a folding chair.

Can't make this one. Helping a friend put the engine back in
a TR-3. I doubt we will be done in time to go on the run.
Maybe next time.

Hi John,
Thanks for leading the ride, and we hope going helps heal your poison oak!
Unfortunately, Jan and I will be working on some exterior painting and
exterior window repair...seems our weather for doing this is beginning to be
intermittent and unpredictable.
I wish we had started these projects earlier, as our ride weather is becoming
the same...and tomorrow should be a great day for a ride.
Can you tell we are choosing what we have to do, not what we would like to
do?????
We hope to see you next time.
Best regards,
Gary and Janet Germano  '70 yellow MGB

Subject: [NOBBC] MY BAD
Message-ID: <000d01cdb499$42896930$c79c3b90$@TAMCAB.COM>

I made a ride leader mistake today.



We were heading down Silverado Trail towards St. Helena to have lunch

at Taylors Refresher and I was looking for the stone bridge

at Pope Street to turn right onto.

Instead I mad an abrupt turn ( a Lotus thing) at the stone bridge on Pratt
Street.



The result was I lost = of the riders and they never showed up at Taylors.



The mysterious part was that Betz Miller was able to turn Froggy around and
catch up to the

2 of us that were waiting. Where did the rest of you guys go? Didnt you see
Betz, who was in front of you, turn around?

I ask because I need to learn from my mistake.



For those of you who have been sitting at home on ride day:

2 weeks ago we had 10 cars

and this week we had 7.



2 MGs with V6s in em and Renee with the V8 MG. A 1948 MG, Jim Leggs MG,
Dawson Healey and my little old Lotus.





SORRY GUYS.

Have any of you fellow XK owners in the club had to replace the rubber
coupling that connects the upper and lower portions of the steering column
on your car?

On my car, this looks like the original rubber component now hardened,
badly checked and with a significant crack partway down the long axis of
the coupling. I have a new replacement coupling sourced from XK's Unlimited
but not a clue as to the correct procedure for making the replacement. Does
the entire column have to come out of the car, or can I simply disconnect
the lower column at its connection (u-joint) to the steering rack to
release the tension on the coupling and install the relacement with the
upper column still on the car?

There is more than the usual amount of play in the steering, making me
reluctant to drive the car. If it needs to go to a shop for this fix it
will probably have to get there on a trailer.

Thanks for any advice.

Why would anyone own an old British sports car? Because the car needs you.

I'm not sure which NOBBC email Betz sent this to so I'm forwarding it
around.

 

Pretty exciting for Mr. Toad to be in such a big show!

 

See Below:

 

Dear Car Club Friends,

Not a perfect 1948 MGTC like Rick & Judy had for Qvale Book, but well loved
& driven frequently.  I have been invited to have Mr Toad on display in the
Qvale Cars Display.  Perhaps I see you there, Betz Miller

"We may be able to make Froggy a star after all.  How would you like to show
it at the SF International Auto Show at Moscone Center, November 21-26?
We're doing a CARS OF QVALE display...MG, Jaguar, Jensen and Mangusta. We'd
give you name credit, a signed copy of the book on Mr. Q."

SF International Auto Show at Moscone Center, November 21-26

MOSCONE CENTER

SHOW DATES:

Thursday, (Thanksgiving), November 22 through Monday, November 26, 2012.

SHOW TIMES:

Thur. - Sun. : 10:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday: 10:00 am to 8:00 pm

Mr. Toad ("Froggy") will not be on display on Monday, because I don't want
to drive home in the dark.

Hi John,

No problem, it was a glorious day to be out! Yes, I saw her turn, but
didn't know why. The rest of us kept going. When we neared Napa, I realized
that we'd overshot and turned around myself, but just went straight home.

Cheers,

There is a section with pictures on steering column restoration. It looks
to me like the entire column should be removed and repaired as necessary
while you are doing the coupling replacement. If you like, I could take a
look to give my 2 cents worth!. Best,Rob

Hey gang, one of my fellow Land Rover loon pals has acquired a rolling wreck
of a Land Rover from a guy in Vallejo, and he carelessly brought it home.

But the story of interest here is that the seller, also has a back yard full
of MGs in various states of decay.  The Land Rover loon has entered into an
agreement with the guy to help dispose of this .. uh mess or treasure,
depending on your needs I suppose.   Anyway. at this point there is no
inventory since much of it has yet to be unearthed in the detritus or exposed
to the light after getting rid of other stuff.   He says he'll come up with
some descriptions, but until then here's a link to some photos.   Caveat:
viewing not advisable for the weak of heart.

If anyone wants to be on a list for something you need, lemme know and I'll
forward your request.   If the Land Rover guy consents I could be able to
provide a direct link.  There are also engine blocks and other such under
cover from the weather . but I'd guess they're in similar condition.   The
pile includes TD, MGA and MGB carcasses.

So here's the photo link:

Gerry,
That is the mother of all MG graveyards!  Used to be "collections" 
like that all over the place, but with the passage of time, owners 
die or move on and the stuff gets sold for scrap or to hobbyists in 
some cases.  My yard and storage building were on the verge of 
looking like that at one time, but reality scared me into cleaning it up.

Gerry,

 What a find, I would be interested if there were any MGC skeletons in
the pack. 
I think the MGC is very rare compared to most classics but goes
unnoticed by 
most and parts are getting hard to find. Please keep us posted.
I love my 
British cars, but if anyone ever runs across a 1952 - 1962 Alfa
Romeo Giulietta 
Spyder please let me know. I use to have a 1961 and would
love to have one to 
play with  again.

I sent your info to Greg Harwood the Land Rover guy. along with a note
asking what he wants to do.  I know that he's taken on more than he has time
for but I'm sure he'll work his way through all that crap eventually.

I did spot something in the mess that, to me,  looks like an MGC bonnet.
check photo #57.  Isn't that from an "C"?
And weren't most of the MGCs the GTs?    I don't think I saw many convertibles
back then.

Yeah I've been amazed at what has happened to the price of Giuliettas.
especially the Sprint Speciales .. geez.  I always preferred the slightly
newer ones for some of the minor detail improvements and for the 5-speed and
. well. I think I prefer the 1600 engine.   As it is none of 'em are
over-powered. even by anemic British Car standards.
And hey being honest here. I know it's a little shallow but really the later
bonnet with the wider scoops looks a lot cooler.

Trouble is I can't think of any good reason to get a long desired over
another Brit car, considering that I could probably get a semi decent Jag Mk
II for the price of a so-so Alfa.

Hi Gerry thanks for the photos of the MG scrap yard.  I'll take on most
projects but those cars are too far gone to even bother with.  There may be
some parts that could be salvaged but based on the photos it looks like it's
mostly scrap by now.

4 MGs and don't need another one.

Hey gang, one of my fellow Land Rover loon pals has acquired a rolling wreck
of a Land Rover from a guy in Vallejo, and he carelessly brought it home.  

 

But the story of interest here is that the seller, also has a back yard full
of MGs in various states of decay.  The Land Rover loon has entered into an
agreement with the guy to help dispose of this ... uh mess or treasure,
depending on your needs I suppose.   Anyway.. at this point there is no
inventory since much of it has yet to be unearthed in the detritus. or
exposed to the light after getting rid of other stuff.   He says he'll come
up with some descriptions, but until then here's a link to some photos.
Caveat: viewing not advisable for the weak of heart.

 

If anyone wants to be on a list for something you need, lemme know and I'll
forward your request.   If the Land Rover guy consents I could be able to
provide a direct link.  There are also engine blocks and other such under
cover from the weather .. but I'd guess they're in similar condition.   The
pile includes TD, MGA and MGB carcasses.

 

So here's the photo link:
