Rob -

Those fillets go in front of the sidescreen box side rails. They are covered on the exposed side with vinyl (Rexine)

Re: Front scuttle capping

Looks to me as though the problem is with the scuttle, not the door hanging. The scuttle bottom seam line should be basically a straight continuation of the hood hinge line, with a bit of a kick-up at the end.

Re: MG TC 1945

Not all of the TC police cars had the modifications Duncan listed - some were fairly stock.
TC0281 is largely unknown to me, and I try to keep track! My advice is grab it now!

Cheers,

Re: TC center dash panel gauge placement

Re: Police TC - ignition coil

Hi Tim - Stunning restoration, VERY cool car. I've always been fascinated by the TC Police cars and had read about the larger battery box and generator bulge - but until your car I'd never seen photos of these - holy cow that generator bulge is positively enormous! Big enough for two - do you know t...
