    Many thanks, Stuart.

    It seems I am possible missing a mounting bracket on my chassis crossmember...

    Many thanks for the picture !!

    Sincerely,
    Woody

  • Les Robinson10 May 2026

    Yes, another question!!
    What brake pads are best? I currently have Yellow Stuff pads and I find that these fade if do lots of downhill braking and yesterday while on a 100 mile run made loads of dust on my wheels.

    This is the kit that I have used on five different cars now, although it has gone up a trifle in price since I last did one.
    There's more than enough length and more than enough different brass termination nipples to cover virtually any application and it's super easy to use.
    I found the adjuster had a metric thread which I didn't think was in keeping for a Spridget, Mini or 'Tina but th...

    As above Ray.
    Think it's just the two rubber strips which separate the tank from the floor IIRC.

  • Stuart Duncan10 May 2026

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

    Woody, here is a photo of the horn on my YT. Attached o cross bracket below the Steer rack.

    ps. There are 4 YTs and 3 Ys attending the Pre-War & Pre-1956 MG Rally, I am running next week in Northern NSW (Australia).

  • James Paul10 May 2026

    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 ...
