That's easy enough, Steve...I see how it's done...wish I had another car related video to post.

Re: TC 9106

Originality Police? Uhhhh...who cares?
And with a forum of this type they don't even have to comment...just look, turn their nose up and close it.
Of course, on our existing site that's all they have to do too but they nevertheless ALWAYS seem to comment.

TC 9106

TC 9106 was a total basket-case. It has an aluminum, home-made (and not made well) body that's a bit too wide at the cowl, an un-numbered (possibly damaged in the past) frame, non-original aluminum firewall, TD engine...but at least it has a TC transmission (or has until I manage to swap it out for ...

Re: chassis No.

Hugh,

If I'm not mistaken you bought that chassis from Gene Beaudoin over in Luling, LA. I know Gene and no, the plate didn't come from him.

Re: chassis No.

Tell you what Mark...I hate orphan cars. I bought a plate off eBay several years ago with a chassis number that doesn't show up among our members. Grind the number off your chassis and I'll send this to you for Christmas. The chassis for the car I'm building doesn't have a number on it but that does...

Re: Alloy XPAG blocks...1500 CC

In every group you're going to have differences of opinion. Be glad that in this one there's only two - those that feel one way about originality and those that feel another. Either group is considered *extreme* by the other - but both groups love their MG's so what difference does it make? Live and...

Re: Datsun brake drums

Well, duh!!! Must have been a *blonde* day for me yesterday. I'd have known that if I'd thought about it for ten seconds. I also have installed the Datsun steering mod on the 49 TC I've been restoring over the past few years. I originally planned to try to bring it back to life as original as possib...

Re: Datsun brake drums

Does anyone have a good source for these brake drums here in the States? And, is there any difference in whether you get the front or rear drums from the 240 Z's, i.e., are both front and rear drums finned? Thanks in advance, Gene

Re: Does anyone know something about PAIGE

Wolfgang,

Take a look at this site - go on down to the Graham car section - there's an email address where you might be able to get some information.

Re: Side curtain Compartment

Bruce, If I remember from my restoration (still ongoing after eight years - smile) those 4 holes should line up with four holes in your chassis - that's part of the mounting. I also had/have that piece of wood in mine - I think I goofed cause I made it a solid piece of the storage compartment. What ...

Re: Steering Conversion

Ray, If this is the modification I think it is, I purchased the conversion kit from Skip Kelsey - it's called the Australian Steering Box Conversion by him - and installed it in my MG TC. It's barely noticeable when you look at it but the difference in the driveability of the car is amazing. It took...

Re: Advice wanted re. TC transmission & rear axle ratio

Carl, I don't think you're biting off too much. I bought a TC to restore and I've tried to do as much as possible myself. My transmission had been open (and laying on a workbench) for six years before I bought the car. I managed to tear it down and put it back in running shape without a whole lot of...
