Parts Drawings
Although many parts are available as 'New Old Stock' (NOS), second-hand, or remanufactured for TCs and TDs, some parts are totally unavailable and will have to be made up either by yourself, of a fabricator. To help eliminate some of the guess work involved in this process, we hope to bring you measured drawings and templates where previous restorers have had items made.

Roof Gutter Layout
If the rear drain tubes from the sun roof on the MG Y and YB become blocked, water will back up and rot out the rear cross member of the sun roof assembly. Here is a dimensioned drawing by Roy Clapham of the roof gutter so that you can fabricate a new one. |

Boot liners for the MG Y, YT and YB
The MG Y Series had millboard liners to line the inside walls of the trunk. These were made from Millboard. The fold line can be made by scoring a line about 1/3rd depth to the FRONT side of each piece. Another piece of Millboard was placed across the rear of the rear seat panel too: this piece was fitted to the saloons only and not to the YT, whereas the side panels were common across all models. |

Boot Floor Liner for the MG Y, YT and YB
The MG Y Series also had a one-piece panel of black painted thin bituminous felt type material. The metal and wooden floor panels on all cars were covered by this. It was not stuck down, but could be removed. |
Y and YT Rear axle half shafts and differential gaskets
When switching out the half shafts or removing the differential on an MG Y or YT, it is a good idea to make and fit some new gaskets. The differential gasket is the larger of the two. Click on thumbnail to open full sized picture to print from onto sheet of gasket paper. |

MG Y Bulkhead reinforcing plate
This part was introduced by the MG Car Company as a modification to strengthen the bulkhead where the supports for the steering column are bolted through the firewall after about Y 5500 (exact point of introduction is uncertain). The bolts used to secure the steering column brackets will have to be lengthened accordingly to accomodate the additional thickness of the plate. Reproduced here by kind permission of Anton Piller. |

MG Y and YB Heat Shield
Download the PDF here and the DXF file here. You will need a special program to open a DXF file so just download the file and give it to a Machine Shop that can read DXF files. They need to be steel as aluminium conducts heat nearly 7 times more than steel. The reflecting heat material is available here The bolts are M10 1.5mm thread pitch (coarse) and can be obtained from here. The standard bolts are 20mm long and as the insulating gasket and shield add about 6mm, 30mm bolts are the nearest size to use. The bottom bolt will need about 3mm cut off in order to fit behind the carburettor casting into the flange. Regards, Peter Downing |
MG Y/T (and twin carburettor set up on Y and YB) Heat ShieldThis PDF file was written a while ago by David Pelham and Paul Barrow. If you need to fit a Heat Shield to a YT or twin carburettor saloon it will be of interest to you. This will help prevent "vapour lock" and fuel starvation issues caused by heat transfer from the exhaust manifold evaporating the petrol before it can get into the engine from the carburettors through the inlet manifold.

Larger zippered rear window
YT Rear Window Dimensions and Position The dimensions of the MG YT rear window were researched with the worldwide assistance of members of the International MG Y-Register. Dimensions are slightly bigger than the factory produced rear windows, but still small enough to suit the age of the car - and at the same time big enough to meet todays traffic requirements. Drawing by Anton Piller. |
