Every cloud, and all that...warming seas cause ice to melt, resticting the raoming of polar bears, but the now open water allows more feeding areas for whales. Swings. Roundabouts. Nature goes round and round...

TBH the rest of the mower is passed it so the engine will become a stationary demo model...until l can find something for it to run. Just more old machinery to clog up the sheds and keep me off the streets...

Hi SD

If you have any remnants from your dash roll, Barney’s CP-109 and 109A may be useful in reconstruction.

I remember those pads under distributor rotor arms too.

Never felt the need to keep them. 😉.

Seriously though, without oil, the spindle eventually freezes and advance won't work.

How often are you supposed to reload the felt with oil anyway? A drop of thin oil under the rotor arm, felt or not, does the job.

I had my seats recovered by a former Connolly trimmer in Milbrooke Southampton in 1998. Cost a small fortune then ... but they are amazing. I doubt he's still in business though.

I don't know him personally but he's known in the MG community. T-Types, MGA, etc for many years.

yep, felt i'd say---some/most lucas generators had a felt pad as well on the end of the rear bush, couple of drips of oil at service time and they last forever. When did you oil yours last.

Hey Dave,
Well the car needs Some TLC....but the only 2 Items I havent got or need work are the window rear seal and the coping wood trim that goes over the dash board. I was able to scrounge up a complete set of doors with all the trim and interior mechanisms.

If anyone out there has the coping for the dash Id be interested in purchasing it! ...

I totally agree Bill about most just seeing a car as an appliance to get from A to B, with no thought about what happens when you turn the key. In fact the government probably dont need to bring in this legislation as no doubt many will just throw them away if they get a major problem the same as they do a washing machine or a kettle.

I was speaking to someone I vaguely know at a show on ...

Evening all-well it is over here !

Looking for recommendations please for a trimmer based in the UK.
Preferably somewhere within a band drawn across the country from Liverpool to Bristol. Just a competent trimmer that you are happy with in terms of finish and quality of workmanship .
Many thanks as always
