The clamp that holds the two intake manifold sections together is that brass plated with nickel? I appears to be to thin for chrome and with a slight polishing brass shows through. Thanks Bob [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I attended the NE Ohio Healey Show and swap meet up in Solon, Ohio today, a number of TC's on hand. Jeff Fields and Fred Kuntz to name a few, nice day with a bit of sun. Question, I'm getting ready to mount up the bonnet on TC2911, the little machine screws that hold the latch mechanisms, were these painted car color or left raw? Were they brass or steel? I think I have seen both. I know, I know we are approaching the ridiculous here, but I have to put screws in to hold them, might as well at least try to get them the way they were done. Anyone know? Thanks, Steve Stierman TC2911

Dear Steve, Mine are brass and are identical, haven't checked the thread flavor though. If they appear to be odd, I will. Michael DeRentz Broomall, PA 9861EXU [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hiya! TC5308 has unpainted brass screws holding the latches on - I wondered about them myself, but most everything else about the car is so correct I have to believe they should be brass. I haven't seen anything on brass vs. paint for those items. Bob In a message dated 5/3/2009 6:33:04 P.M.

2 BA brass slotted button head screws. I always thought they were painted body colour like the other visible bolts on the dumb iron cover.

Did the TA,TB, and all TCs have the handbrake greaser. Specifically the triangle shaped grease point located just forward of the rear tire. Thanks Sent from my iPad

Hello Bob,   I can t help on early TA but TA2258 onwards had the 6-pipe (3 per side) lube system, i.e. no triangular plate as the TC.  I believe the TB was similar to late TA.   See my TABC article http://www.mg-tabc.org/library/TA-lubrication.htm   Regards, Ian Linton TA3120 Lewes, East Sussex, UK     [b]From:[/b] mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com [b]Sent:[/b] Wednesday, April 01, 2015 8:56 PM [b]To:[/b] mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com [b]Subject:[/b] [mg-tabc] Question     Did the TA,TB, and all TCs have the handbrake greaser.
