Can anyone tell me the size of the six screws that hold the sending unit to the tank. I'm guessing they are the same as the TC TD, but they seem to be VERY expensive from the usuals. Almost $10 each from Moss!

Hoping to find them elsewhere

Thank

Joe

Here is TD 4139. It has an added temperature gauge. The tube runs through the oil line/tach cable hole hole behind the battery.

You have to run the temperature tube through the hole first.

G'day Malc. ,how're things going with you.

you asked about weights, my old hillclimber thing went 520kg and dead on 600 with me in it @ exactly 150 on each wheel---it's important to do your scaling with the driver onboard---my next car was going to be the magic 55% rear weight, but that's not happening now mostly because of rule changes at 'our hill'

When you look at who is left now I dont think an interim leader makes any difference. Every MP they have left is a lightweight.

Very nice. I wonder what it's mpg is. Expensive to tour in?

Slightly off topic other than this is old (1954) and doesn't need fixing. It is the current transport for a German couple on a touring holiday in Dumfries & Galloway. In lovely original condition and certainly travelling in style!

I can confirm that it is quite oversteery 😂

I've always found those holes to be empty on TDs. For some reason I put my ground wire on the lower one, rather than the horn bracket.

I have seen at least once a MkII with a double fuel line hold down on one of the holes, but I am not sure if that was original or not.

😅😅😅. I didn't see that Jeremy.

If he chose that and didn't notice it either, and it had to be pointed out to him, I reckon that's a good indicator of not paying attention to detail, just when it matters. And besides, as good as it is, being an ex combat soldier isn't enough.

From what I can see, they may as well all chuck their hats in.

Their best bet I reckon, ...

Great information from Tom Aczel as usual, I always take notice of his advice on the subject of keeping the MGA cool.

His comments about the bonnet reminded me of a couple of negative things I have noticed about the effect of cutting louvres towards the rear of it that I didn`t mention earlier.

The first is that I think whoever cut them, also removed a re-enforcing strut that ran...
