MG TA1932 in Germany - Blog - all problems and ...

[Franz Tenbrock]

o today i done a little bit
i cleaned the old fan and spray it in red , the same color as the engine and fixed it again
also i painted the MG signs red too
some other parts you can see on the pictures i fixed to the car
i have to ask my son for the videos, to compress them, the sound of the new exhaust, much better

[Franz Tenbrock]

Today I was in Essen - techno classica,
but there was only 4 MG t types there,
even a few stalls where you could buy spare parts,
extremely many very high priced cars
I actually wanted to buy an overflow line for the carburettor, unfortunately not possible .
Home again, really cold, 3 ° , then I changed the break pipe/hose in the front ,
the screws were really tight, for the first time was 1 hour not so bad,
now the car is safe again for the next ride.

[Franz Tenbrock]

so today
i take off the cover from the carburettor,
it seems to have a hole for the ticker
but it is closed inside, no hole as it seemd to be
no ticker in the future
also one idea for the 2 score what shoudn t be on the cover
so i can t make an overflow as it is now....

next step was the fuel line
horrible fuel hoses
now a new fuel copper line

and it is tight

between the carburettors i will make it new at the weekend
also copper line

here a picture from this evening

so today i got my brass
so i could use my lathe the second time,
have had a look to the instruction so i can tunr all parts of the lathe, don t know how to explain it
i wanted to make a rejuvenate part for the knob

and not bad the first difficult part for a lathe beginner.

i have a thread on the backside so i can assemble it really easy

in some month i will engrave it with my stepcraft 420

other parts for the new overflow ist still on shipping

the ignition light is in the position of the fuel reserve knob, so i have to look what i can do,
not a new hole in the dashboard
i should be nearly original in the future

[Franz Tenbrock]

Reserve knob works

a little bit more problems than i thought,
i have to rebuild the holder for the reserve part at the engine
but now it is ok

perhaps i will make the knob itsself a little bit smaller
next winter, firt i will see if all works like it should

tomorrow i will polish it ;-)

[Franz Tenbrock]

a new part for my printer ?
40 gr not to much ;-)
a little bit work while looking TV
a booring show

FHT is my full name

[Franz Tenbrock]

today some problems with printing, tomorrow next one

but new ignition cable
and the lower part of the toolbox was missing
so i do it today.
and with my new lathe i prepare the nut for the overflow banjo with the new thread cutter 1/4 BSF

[Franz Tenbrock]

overflow ready
some parts polished
prepare the cover...

and fuel line , the old one

i will make a fake thiker in brass next days.

car is running

[Franz Tenbrock]

Hallo
the first print of my neew spark plug holder, own desing with my name FHT
is here.
some small changes i have to do, but it will be fine.
one layer does not hold and the thread isn t designed
i will put red colour to the ground of the logos

so if somebody need one ;-)

[Franz Tenbrock]

so next step
nearly ready

here without painting
the logos will be painted tomorrow
half done now ;-)

perfect sun
so fast painting ;-)

ready as i want it.

[Franz Tenbrock]

and now i know how to design a thread and a parametric logo

someone an idea what i should to design next ?

[Steve Simmons]

Impressive!

[Franz Tenbrock]

the next one is ready
for a friend how has seen it ;-)

the logo is now 2mm nnot 1,2 so it looks better
so i have to print a new one for me

the logo for your name is in germany not so good

perhaps in some month, when i have learned to use my new stepcraft in aluminium

[Steve Simmons]

Yes, the same reason why Swallow Sidecar became Jaguar!

[Franz Tenbrock]

so next step to make the car more original.
i changed the security Bosch ignition coil to a Q12 repro Coil,
the original switch on the dashboard i will rebuild next winter,
the car starts perfect, i small round with the car is ok

so today i closed the hole in the toolbox, all painted parts of the car i coverd with thick wet scarf
mig welding
dangerous but i had luck, all ok afterr work
painted with zinc
in 2 or 3 weeks i will make a little air brush with the red colour to finish this step

than i put my 3d printed spark plug holder to this place

now printed with a thread for the plug

[Franz Tenbrock]

so
next step ready

not to bad i think

the new individual 3d printed spark plug holder



A.V. it is on the way to you ;-)

[SavannahDog]

Franz, I would like one. I'll send you a private message.

[Kenmgtc]

Franz, looking good!

[Franz Tenbrock]

or in a universal Design

here a picture, with a spark plug flying in the octagon

before other copy the design, ;-)


ok i have taken the old octagon Design too,
but changed it to a individual design

so that you know who done it first

[Franz Tenbrock]

so universal for a TD ot TC ...
