Hope this link works. My plan for the tub bolts.

Could not help myself to use the new feature.

Fantastic. Quick feedback.

Very clear now.
I see it works from File Manager and your Desk Top. You just have to have both open on you screen at the same time.

Keep healthy

On the new way of placing pics... From where do I drag the pic into the "Reply box"? From the File manager? And is the "Reply Box" the box where you are typing now? Have patience with old people, we do not like change ;) PS Any chance the photo of the month can become "Live", I am sure our readers ...

Thanks for the info.. :thumbs: The battery in my Birkin is 45Ah battery rated at SAE 400CCA so should do the trick. Not usually that cold here in SA as it is rated for -18Deg. Is it more Amps at say 20Deg, and I am talking Celsius. This battery is 210mm long and the hold down nuts in the battery box...

What type of CCA should one be looking for?

Day #12 of LockDown for us here in SA. Managed to avoid going to the shops so that means more time spent on the MG Both fenders fitted and just about 100% symmetrical. 8 inch tub to side.jpg 30 Inch tub to fender.jpg This is the dimensions I found on the net. Can anybody verify this on their cars pl...

Thanks :thumbs: that is good to know and I will remember that. Any idea if the felt goes over or under the support bar in the Side Curtain box? I am sure if the factory they would would have glued the felt when everything was still in pieces, So I guess the reinforcement gees over, but I have never ...

I think the lack of patterns is because the pattern is basically in "The Book" Page 171 (my edition) shows the dimensions of the "Side-screen Box Side" that will be you pattern for the 2 sides. Curtain Box Felt.JPG If you then take the 21.5" + 3" +10.24" it will give you the length and folding lines...

Thanks for the pics.

So more stuff my car does not have. and with the Rand dollar exchange it is expensive.

But now I know and will add it to the list.

Well, I did it. the wood was so worn out where the old holes in the fender was that I simply open up the 6mm holes to 7 mm and fitted rivnuts. Look away now purists.... MG Fender Rivnuts.jpg The nice thing is taking on and taking off does not further wear and strip the holes in the wood.. Nice thing...

Great detailed description, any chance for some picks to back it up.

The RED circles are holes already in my fenders.

The YELLOW arrows is where holes are suppose to be.

And in the green circle the best ever Christmas cracker present I ever got. Flexible tape with metric and imperial.

TT_BP116_Rear_Wing_to_Tub_Fastener_Locations.pdf So I found this.. 8 x screws #10 x 1.24" Would this be wood screws or self tappers? What is the feeling on fitting 5mm rivnuts. Not even the purists will be able to spot it and the flanges of the rivnuts will be taken up by the piping. Any quick answ...

Started on covering the rear wheel arches.

Watching dough Pelton's videos on how to do it, but then realized the seat backrest brackets are the wrong way round ,but rather now than when fitting the seat backrest

Thanks for your time.

Are the fenders attached to the tub using wood screws?

How many ? and approximate size please.

South Africa in lock down, so time to do a few things to the TC. I want to fit the rear fenders. Mine was fitted with bolts ad nuts through the wheel arches.......Is this correct as I also found some holes that line up with the wooden screws securing the tub to its frame. What is the easiest way to ...

Been slaving away quietly, but stuck now again. Remaking the seat backrest, but the brackets confuses me. Is the pipe with its triangularly shaped feet one bracket and the 2 rectangular with sliders another 2 brackets or are they all in one. Mine is one thing with no rectangular footed mounts. See t...

Very very few of them here in SA and the ones that are here are pampered and very expensive in Rands. So none are getting broken up. That is why I bought this wreck. With the Rand pound exchange and freight and import duty restoration is terribly expensive so I am making what I can. I enjoy it so no...

Made battery box cover catches.
