Rob, I've never seen a TA, TB, or TC with captive nuts on the rear wings like you have. It's most likely that this was a modification done in a previous time. The bolt holes would have to sit inside the inner edge of the body tub wood. Unless there was an unusually long tail on the wing piping or ad...

Rob, I can't picture where the captive nuts are located. All the original ones I've seen have wood screws attaching the wing to the wood frame of the body tub
Can you enlighten me?

Those are the springs that hold the fingers on the pressure plate. I don't think that's a good thing to find loose; you may be in for an engine removal to fix, The pressure plate I put in one of my TCs had the problem of those springs not staying in place, and a friend's TC with an engine rebuild th...

I have a late TC bulkhead in pretty good condition available to anyone who wants it.  The massive price of $25 plus cost of shipping.  Structurally sound, no significant ruse (on bottom corner of battery box could use some repair, a few holes extra to original, easy to fill. Been sitting on the shel...

Screw to hold the trigger in place is 6BA slotted countersunk, originally brass.
It's a real challenge to get the trigger, spring, and screw all together.

Willie McKenzie at ARP in Bournemouth is considering doing a run of reproduction TA steering wheels, and asked me if there is any demand for them. Here's a photo he sent me.
Are there any TA enthusiasts or TA projects that will need one?

rear carpets, then the seat runner hinge slides into the L cut in the carpets.

Tooting my own horn here, but the carpet sets closest to original come from me here at Kimber Creek Ltd. Original style Karvel black carpeting (though in synthetic instead of wool/synthetic original blend), properly cut to shape with handbrake gaiter and heel mat sewn in. Unbound edges as original, ...

Here are a couple items I provided from previous posts (could have been on the other TABC forum) that should help you.

Jay, the smaller screw and recessed countersunk washer in your photo are correct for a wood dash. Here are two cropped photos of TCs at the factory in their early lives. The one with the wooden dash is late 1945. Though focus is not great, it clearly shows the hardware - flush countersunk washers an...

I currently have a couple original type oil canisters for sale on EBay.
The Vokes on is nice, as that's the brand most used by MG and Morris when building new engines in the 1940s.

Hello Rob - here's a note about bonnet fitting from your "resident historian" . . . Yes, side bonnet panels were often trimmed on the production line. This actually started with the building of the vintage MGs - the 14/40, 18/80, and the first Midget, the M type in 1929. Prewar, and for the first se...

Rob, I like the look of lacing but tend to stay with originality - all the factory photos I've ever seen showing this piece show rubber. Be aware that the fabric type tends to abrade the bonnet paint where it contacts the bonnet over time. But wither will work . . . And a 1949 factory photo is attac...

All parts lists and build specifications (or, Spec 259 for TC) list rubber for the radiator shell buffer.
Factory photos of the period support this.

Lift the Dot.

Duncan described the hinge location for the side curtain compartment door. The door fits across to the edges of the compartment sides, but doesn't extend past the plywood on each side. The battens on the outside edges of these sides are used to screw the filler piece in place. Meanwhile, the cutout ...
