It is to hard to write down, as there is a tire size chart (no 19) but I will fax or mail to serious inquires, there is a way to figure out for tire sizes other than on whats on the chart.

For what it's worth I tried some Autolite 425 sparkplugs in the TC and what an amazing difference they made at a very low price - about 98 cents each.

I know of no heat shield for a TC but the pattern on a Sprite or MG Midget HS 2 (1964 to 1973) is the same as a TC, you could get one and split it up the center, and with a but of creative filing make some shields that will protect the float bowls and leave the center open. Joe Curto
