registration plate in Australia

My TC 7677 was originally sold in Adelaide in 1949 my question is what did the Australian license plate look like, how was it mounted on the front and the back, does anyone have one? It would be fun to display one at a show.

extra holes in rocker arms

In the latest issue of totally t type 2 an article discusses closing the hole on the top of the rocker arm, do we agree this is a good idea? Isn't it there to lubricate the valve and rocker arm contact area?

black painted "D" tail lights

I have acquired a few black "D" tail lights split and non split lens, single and dual bulbs, were they ever used on MGs? If not what cars are they used on?

Re: Replacing standard TC seats with bucket seats

I put a set of Factory Five Cobra in a MG TD. They are very vintage looking bucket seats. They cost approximately $500 a set. Search for factory Five Cobra website.

machining the TC oil pump

I need to surface of the oil pump housing, cover and gears. I have had the parts to three shops and they don't seem to know how to hold the parts on a surface grinder. The surfaces are too rough to use the glass and sandpaper method. Is there another way of surfacing these parts? Or is there someone...

Dunlop tire codes

I have 4 Dunlop tires I acquired with my recent purchase of TC 7677. They look perfect no cracks and the surface is soft enough so you can push your finger nail in. My concern is how old are they. There are 2 numerical markings on the tires, (3) have 61052 and (1) has 61053. There is another marking...
