The Classic Marque

Hi Paul,
Believe it is a original boot badge as it has the locating pin and a lot flatter than the grill badge, it is identical to the boot badge on my Yt and Ya , bolt length fine as only has to go through boot skin.

Rob - is that badge a front one or rear? The bar looks a little short for a rear one? I believe the rear ones (originally) were slightly contoured to the boot lid.

Rob Snell's badge could work for you but you will need to weld a longer thread on the bar.

Perhaps more worrying is if he doesnt get in, what then? If Streeting challenged and won he wants to go even further and get us back in the EU. If Burnham doesnt get in I can see them imploding just like the Tories did then we could be in for a coalition of a right mish mash of parties if Reform cant get a decent majority.

OK. I see the big thread over at MGExp you have going and others who recommended my approach too.

Looks like you have a temporary solution.

Well we can only hope then, the electorate in Makerfield are sophisticated thinkers like you three. Is there evidence of that?

And just as importantly, who is going to oppose for Reform? Who are they putting up? Better be canny.

It's suggested the Greens and anybody else who'll join them, will row in with Labour, on a keep Farage out ticket.

I'm not so sure Andy Pandy wo...

You have thought of everything I thought of so there is that.

The only other option, and not something I would do with the unit in the car, would be to drill it out wider and wider until you get near the threads and then using a drift or some other tool to push the remaining bits of plug inwards and remove them.

Good luck and let us know how you proceed.

Fit in the pocket is a factor. A jump start pack doesn't. 😉. Although these days, maybe you'll tell me it does. It wouldn't surprise me. Lol.

These are mine. Both a good few years old and still hold their charge like new.

The white one is 5200mah, the black one is 10000mah.

Update

Using the TRW master cylinder my front (disc) brakes were binding after initial application - squeaking like made at low speed and creating loads of dust.
Didn’t know whether the callipers had started to stick. Anyway I decided to buy an AP (Lockheed?) master cylinder. These were not in stock when I got the TRW. Anyway the front wheels are really free to rotate after applying...

A couple of questions:-
Alan Anstead stated that the pedal pushrods will need to be reduced in length to 3.75� when using 3/4� master cylinder - why? According to Moss catalogue the 7/8� and 3/4� pushrods are same part number.

How far does the pushrod screw into the fork? - mine is about 1/4�

The bolts that act as stops for the pushrods- how far do they protrude from the...

Haven't posted much on this site lately, but it was extremely useful when rebuilding the A. So thought a message of thanks to all those who gave help.
Not on FB so thought I would send something to this site.
So today we joined our members of Devon & Cornwall branch of MGCC for a brunch time meeting. The 2nd of 2026. Got the car out and rain started so for the first time in 7 years took i...
