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.

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).

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

Bonnet straps look neat but the road dust accumulates under them even is line
with sheep skin and scratches hell out of your paint....hence for racers and
trailer queens only. I found this out the hard way....
