Hello to all,

I too would like to add myself to the growing list of people interested in
obtaining this drawing of the TC body and the brake cable oilers. And
speaking of drawings, does anyone have either a scale drawing or full size
patterns for the floor boards for a TC?

RE: TC floorboards:
I have a new set still in the box that I don't need - or if shipping
would be too much of a problem I could trace a paper pattern for you.

Talking of Floor Boards, any one out there. In the US. Got a set for a
MGA?
had intended to make them but if available ready made, in decent
condition, why wear the saw out an/or lose a couple of fingers!

I have just acquired the drawing shown in the attached photo.  It measures 39 x 61 cm and is marked "Drawing Number A1-01" and "Scale approx. 1:14".  It is titled "MG Series TC".


Does anyone know what it is?   It is rolled and has never been folded, and dates at least to the 1970s and most likely earlier. It came from South Africa from a previous owner of TC2456 but I don't know where it originated.

Don't know about the drawing you attached but I have seen another that
is more of a technical drawing showing structural details.

Too long ago for me to remember names and dates but that drawing became
the subject of much forum discussion about 10 or more years ago.

Someone found a copy and after some work cleaning it up offered
reproductions for sale.

I think the fellow was in the USA, the price was quite reasonable.

Debate focused on the fact that the drawing appeared to be based on a TA
with various details updated to TC.

Sorry to distract from your question, my memories don't help at all.

I can't seem to open the picture. That said, I enlarged it as best I could. It looks just like a picture my dad had framed and hanging in the house (god bless my mother) in the 70s. I seem to recall that he got it as a poster from Moss Motors back then. But this is WAY testing my foggy memory.

Attachments :It would seem that to open pictures sent as attachments these days, you have to sign in to Yahoo, and I am reluctant to open that can of worms...
Here is a differential related photo which I have reduced using Irfanview and sent in the body of the ermail: hopefully you can seer it without Yahoo. Normally a split-pin (aka cotter pin across the pond)it used here, but somebody obviously ran out, or thought an old nail would be better...
Of course, I STILL have the problems (and others do too) of not receiving copies of my own emails, unless I copy mayself into the address line!
