MG-Thermostat Many Thanks to the Great Experts- -

[LuckyFloridaLin@aol.com]

Vielan Dank! to all in my quest-any of our illustrious MG Pilots have an idea where to purchase a TC thermostat? There was none in TC when we took it apart. Will Always remember the MG commandments. #1-Thou shalt never run without a thermostat. #2Thou shalt grease every 500 miles till the devilish dirt is driven out.#3 Thou shalt consider leather Gaiters for leaf springs for good lubricity. This is a start to the 100 Sacred Octagon MG-T Commandments- additions welcomed Can't resist this: does George Chubaty,purveyor of gaiters use "gators"? BTW what are the insights on using Leather Bonnet Straps on the TC? Looks to me rather classic. Tally Ho! Thom

Thom: Bitte schoen!! I have the Moss "original style" thermostats, and housing in stock. These are an exact duplicate of the originals. Tschuss: Skip Kelsey............................... At 06:44 PM 2/5/01, LuckyFloridaLin@aol.com wrote:

Please please please ..... gaiters went out of fashion in the Vintage era and are totally inappropriate for late 30s and post war cars. They hide broken springs and were a cause for MOT failure in the UK unless removable for checking spring condition in the days when our cars were given a proper test. Bonnet straps are for racers only , where it was a requirement (and for boy racers circa 1950). Cliff

Don't suppose you would go for tailfins on a T series either ? PTH
