Re: chassis font size and name?

Hi Chris, I don’t know what font the chassis numbers are stamped in so I’m no help. The size of stamp used is 3/8”. I can tell you that not all number stamps are the same font/ style so if you intend to stamp a replacement chassis rail and want it to look right it’d be best to seek out the right sta...

Re: MGTF performance issue

Good Morning, Yes it is possible to get a result through trial and error however it’ll take time and requires a skill set that is fast becoming a lost art/ trade. I recommend you get your car tuned on a dynometer. Find a shop with a Dyno and a distributor machine that does a bit with old English mot...

MG TA or TB gauges wanted

Greetings Group, I would like to purchase genuine TA or TB gauges. The tachometer and speedometer differ from a TC’s in the drive coupling - they have a round pin not a square recess for the cable attachment. I have an instrument fitter who is capable of converting a TC gauge to a TA TB gauge but it...

Following your hot rod lead, here is the '29 Model A that I used to own. It had a full-house '53 Ford flathead with 3 Stromberg 97's, and a T-10 close ratio 4-speed. Totally old-school with all original Ford parts. Lots of torque, lots of fun!

That is one very sweet machine
