NEED SOME HELP WITH MY 1936 MG TA

[Merv Hurley]

I have a 1936 MG TA in resoration and am missing a part on my chassis. In all the parts supplier lists I have to hand, none actually name the piece, nor appear to have the part available. I have attached a JPEG of a sectioned line drawing of the TA chassis with red circles around the part that I wish to identify. The part - from the driver's side - was lost by the chassis aligner when it was in his shop. He decries all knowledge of it, but that's another story. What I want is to replace it. Being down here in little old New Zealand it is somewhat difficult to access information on the TA (there are only four '36 here) so am turning to the MG-TABC Group for help. Can someone tell me: 1) What the part's name is? 2) Is it available from Moss, Naylor, etc? 3) Or alternately, is there someone out there who has made them and can supply?

I see that the attached JPEG to my earlier e-mail has been removed although the image didn't carry any virus. So, to clarify my enquiry, I wish to know the name of the TA part which is at the front end of each chassis rail to which the front chassis cross-member fits in.

Hi Mervyn, These are front knuckles - used from C-types to the final TC. Bob & Charlie Jones have them in England. I've had to replace them on TCs and J2s. They are mostly machined but still take alot of grinding and fiddling to get just right. I can provide you their email off list. Tommm F2 PB TC etc
