What is the procedure for adjusting (shims) for a “Bishop” steering box “End Cover”? This is on a 1936 MG TA. I’m familiar with the top cover shim adjustment, but just learned of the End cover adjustment and have been unable to find much info, what am I looking to accomplish with this adjustment? Rod

LESS THAN 3 HRS TO GO!!!

Final 24 hours. HIP HIP!!

Sadly I'm selling my TA. At 78 years young I have found that I am in need of too much assistance in getting out of it. :( So it is in the final two days of auction at "Bring a trailer" https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1938-mg-ta-3/?utm_source=transactionalemail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=bat_bid...

Thanks for the response, I think I will send both front cylinders to "White Post Restorations' and not have to deal with cobbing some fittings/hoses together to make the "c" cylinders work. Anybody have any experience with "White post"

Rod

What issues might I encounter if I try to use a 'Moss Motors" wheel cylinder meant for a TC on my TA?

Rod

Am I correct in assuming that TC shoes are good for replacing TA shoes?

Thanks in advance

Rod

Guy's, Thanks for the responses, they are much appreciated. So far I have got 2 books, I'm not sure if the Bently book (the black one) is the same one recommended by Steve?

I bought this book, is it the one you were referencing? it seems a bit light on TA info.


Rod

What book or manual would you guys recommend for a newby with a TA

Rod

Thanks Steve.
Much appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm a new MGTA owner and have been searching for a dip stick on the car, can't find it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction, I'd like to make sure she's got oil in her.

Just a heads up, this is the response from Moss Motors, I guess they would know. "Marcel Sereboff : Rod, The top will absolutely not fit. The side curtains may fit but probably not cleanly. We cannot guarantee them for your application." Marcel Sereboff Retail Sales Direct: 805-679-7255 | Fax: 805-6...

The size and shape of the three rear tub rails are the same on a late TA, TB, and TC. The windscreen size and location is the same on all three midgets. The tub size variations n is the distance between the edge of the tub between the door hinges, and it isn’t 4 inches as reported in the press revi...

Hi Rod, welcome to the wonderful world of early MGs! I'm also a Model T owner, with a '25 Roadster Pickup. The TA will be a very different animal for sure. Looks like you bought a gorgeous example, too. The lighter shade of red looks a lot like my TC. Hi Steve, I think we may have conversed online ...

o don t know it but i think the hood will not fit
The ta was to narrow so the TC get more room inside = wide

i have read it somewhere

Franz, Thanks for the input, I believe you are correct. The C was a bit wider.

Yup, you got it, Wings are fenders, Boot is trunk, windscreen is windshield, so on and so forth, I think there is an old listing somewhere in the forum achieves on Brit to Yank terms and definitions. Maybe someone will find it and repost... Thanks Marv, that clears up a few wild guesses I've had.

Well here's my 1st question. Will a convertible top from a TC fit the frame of a TA?

2nd question. I know the "bonnet" refers to what I would call the hood (USA reference).
What is the term "Hood" in reference to? The convertible top?

thought I'd introduce myself. I recently purchased the below TA and am awaiting it's delivery sometime this week. I've never owned a MG before (I'm mostly a Model T ford guy) so I'm going to have a steep learning curve in the coming months. The car's restoration was supposedly completed in 2017, so ...
