Re: Hello and problem with stub axles

Highly recommend Bob's front spindle inserts. My '37 axles were both cracked when tested. Local machinist did a good job fitting them and NTG supplies the MGA castle nuts. If you have a copy of "TC's Forever" see what can happen if the axle breaks. Can be fatal!!

MG TA Headlight assembly

My Ta came with the headlights in bits and I have since had them chromed. Can anyone send me a photo/photos of the inside of the headlamps as I have no idea where all the clips and screw attachments go.

TA Air cleaner mounting

My TA came with two pancake air filters bolted on. I have purchased a new original format canister air cleaner and manifold, but there does not appear to be any way I can attach the manifold to the carbs as there are no attachment points on the manifold.

Re: 1937 MG TA timing chain cover

Thanks Phil. Managed to get some patterns off a TA in Auckland a few weeks ago so I am OK but thanks for your offer. Re the fitting on the timing cover, will probably blank it off and leave it. The return spring is still puzzling me as it may be different on a TC. Can you see the one on yours. Regar...

Late MGTA seat base.

Can anyone let me have a plan of the plywood seatbase for a late TA or measurements. Have new runners but not sure where to attach them. Are the corners of the plywood rounded?
