Terry, I just purchesed a load of T serries parts inc,some TA parts.. There
are a set of new slide assy,s inc boots for the rear springs. There is also
two TA engine and transmisions. One is very complete , starter, generator
and air filter assy with a new black filter assy. The other engine is
missing the push rods, generator and water pump, but does have the air filter
assy,also with a new can...I would like to get $2000.00 for both engines.
There is also a TC engine that I rebuilt that has never been run. IT is
complete inc clutch, water pump,oil filter and lines. I would like to get
$3500.00 fo it. Mike Goodman

Question: What is the difference between the TC starter and the TA/TB starter? How can I tell if I have the correct TB starter? Best, Ray McCrary

Hi Ray and all, The TB starter is virtually identical to the TC unlike the TA which is different. These were dated. Mine ironicaly says 3 9 this refers to March of 1939. I have seen TB's with 4 9 which would be April of 39 etc. The TC's were dated too but the the lettering is slightly different etc. Cheers, John and Crystal TB#0398

I thought TB and TC were common starters, and TA the odd one. The MG
TA/TB Service Parts book gives MG Part no A1164 for the TA starter and
A1206 for the TB. The difference is the drive end bracket which is
A962/2 for TA and A1171/1 for TB, all other parts including the switch
being the same. Perhaps someone can check the TC parts list to see if it
has the same MG part numbers for starter and drive end bracket as the
TB.
There is some confusion amongst the usual printed sources on this one.
Clausanger says TA and TB starter should be a Lucas M418A84 and a TC
should be M418G. Chris Harvey contradicts this by saying the TA starter
won't fit the XPAG.
Although not a complete answer I hope this is a start.

According to my copy of the TC parts list, the TC has the same starter
(A1206) and drive end bracket (A1171/1) as are cited by Cliff Knight for the
TB

Cliff and all,
We regret that Clausanger has caused confusion on a number of TB issues,
the starter being one. Yes the TB and TC have the same starter, apart from
the dates and style of numbers stamped on them they are identical....the TA
used a different part.
Regards,
John and Crystal TB#0398
