MG
The Classic Marque

TC or TD early 1951,
7.25" Borg&berg clutch, 10 splines, 7/8" gearbox shaft.

After lengthening the rear axle, the clutch slips in 4th gear.

I am therefore looking to replace the 6 120 lbs springs with 150 lbs springs (light blue) which was offered by MG Factory at the time.

I'm desperately looking for where I can get them.

If it ignites in the cabin, it’s visible. If it’s in the hold…

I have owned 2 Mini travellers - both of the wood framed variety. I really liked those cars, though I wrote one off on a back lane in Wales.
The first was our honey moon car. Wedded in Hertfordshire, reception continued till 3pm and then we drove the 280+ miles to stay in the Lake District. Probably having consumed an indeterminate number of glasses of the bubbly stuff. I guess there couldn't ...

I havent flown for years! Why would lithium batteries be less likely to ignite in hand luggage than in the hold? Is it to do with pressure - I guess an aircraft hold isn't pressurised?

Hmmm. 918, 948, 1098.

Now back to testing a second amp-meter to see if it too reads in reverse. John.

Always had a fondness for Moggies, especially Travellers. Learnt to drive in a saloon.
Best friend's first car was a split screen, side valve, in black, red leather seats and gold dash. Funny the stuff you remember.
Great exhaust note on the over run.
He has a heavy right foot so the poor old side valve didn't last, neither did its 948 replacement. I think a 1098 survived him (beginning ...

That's very kind, thanks Richard. I may today have fluked a GB badge here in Aus, but I'll keep you posted. Ironic - I tried to catch up with you in the UK late last year, but promptly went down with a faux-Covid thing! Where are you going in Queensland?- visiting Tony S. I hope. We're up on the Tablelands near Cairns, so quite a way north. But you never know! John.

Nice and warm here as well---Although it's what, a month into winter here I'm still in a T shirt, 18C yesterday and haven't had the heater on in the house yet this year---crazy--but I like it
