    Stephen, you will be going to find a Jackall System. Check out NTG (mgbits.com) for parts etc

    Hi Ray,
    Not sure how much difference there is between the MKIII and the MK II, but on mine the two long strips fit on the side mounts. That’s the shorter length of the tank and the single mounts fit on the remaining ones.

    Use a jack to lift the tank and hold it in place whilst you tighten the bolts. Should be a washer and locking washer for each bolt.

    Got some photos on my blog...

  • David Cox10 May 2026

    AIUI the strips were simply to keep the top of the tank away from the bottom of the boot floor in order to create air movement between the two surfaces to prevent damp...and rust..
    Someone will come along with a better idea no doubt..Dave

  • Ray Rowsell10 May 2026

    When I removed the fuel tank, more than a year ago, I could clearly see the washers and packing on the bolts were not original. I have looked in all the normal places, workshop manual, contemporary parts catalogues etc. and I can find very little information. The parts caltalogue shows two rubber strips, marked long and short without any size or location details. I also found reference on Ebay to ...

    what a great looking car---is that Conaught Green

  • William Revit10 May 2026

    That bellcrank appears to be slotted right through--What's the reason the cable can't go right through your barrel/grub screw fitting.
    IF- it's because the cable's too short, have you got enough length to shorten the outer a bit. OR, a universal pushbike inner brake cable is the go, they usually come with a ball on one end and a barrel on the other, just choose the one that suits your pedal fi...

    Buy a solid state SU pump. Problem solved

  • LD Kanaster09 May 2026

    Ron- I have an earlier 54 TF with the SU pump in the engine bay, right rear. I had the pump rebuilt to solid state. I added a Moss Facet pump (around $100) to the right rear location as a back up. Both have worked great for many years. Under the instrument panel I have a 3-way toggle switch to switch between pumps and also to turn off (sort of an anti-theft device).
    On an added note, I wa...

    I have the above 1948 MG TY. It is complete except for the Jackall System. There is none of the system on the car, so I need a complete system. Where can I get a system?
