NOS or old parts quest

[John G. Bulcken IV]

Does any one know where to get the Lucas KOR ( King of the Road ) bakelite battery covers for the TA and TB six volts. I have one and would like another. These were also used on many other MGs including K3, SA, WA and if I am not mistaken MGA as well as Jaguar XK 120s ? You can see these in many factory photos. I also have a friend who needs the tool box clips for his TA ...I seem to remember that the original manufacturer is still making these for luggage...who might that be ?

Cheers,

John

John, Dont know about the battery cover but please see Octagon Car Club spares (http://www.mgoctagoncarclub.com/spares/body.htm)item SBY 152, for toolbox clips, I assume you mean the clips for the tools rather than the clips that hold the toolbox lid shut? I have not seen these clips so usual disclaimers apply. Alan Webster TA 3239

I do not think so as on the jag the J hooks go to the battery box, but I am sure all on this list use earred batteries. Joe
