Passengers sometimes object, though.


If the wood screws have stripped, take a 1/8" oak dowel, taper the end to a
point, put wood glue on it, and hammer it into the hole til it's solid. it
will now hold the screw again,

Another "fix" involves dilling a larger hole and then inserting a brass
threaded insert like the ones cabinet makers use. They have a rather
agressive wood thread on the out side and machine threads on the inside.
Usually available in the Lowes hardware section. Jim

I am in the process of purchasing the remains of a 1947 MGTC with Motor
number XPAG3495 and Chassis number TC2850. It is black with a tan interior. It
will live with my wife and I in Poughkeepsie, New York. We currently have a TD
which we enjoy a lot and thought another project would be fun. Does the group
have any information on past owners of this car?

(how about it group - any idea where he can find previous ownership?)

Clearly a case of skirting the issue about the model type. However, the
pointed head lights and safety belts round the thighs are outstanding!

Dear Jim and Walter,

The latest "Photo of the month" is clearly off-topic and not appropriate for this list.

Thanks. Keep up the good work.
