Thanks for the responses on the manifold paint. This is all current as I have the engine out for the 3rd time for a leaky rear seal, and I'm confident enuf this time to tidy everything up before reinstalling. Incidently, I used a Moss conversion. The problems I had were do to with the seal housing not centering on the crank flange, so with the help of a mandrel I have now assured its correct position. I also substituted a very expensive Vitron seal, for the one supplied. Anyhow, there are 2 of the threaded holes in the aluminum sump that are stripped where the trany bolts up. If I can find a couple of nufeld bolts with an 11/4 long shank (7mm dia) 1/4W head, 10 threads to the cm., I would be able to catch 1/4 in of undamaged thread in the sump. Or does anyone have a alternative proven solution which does'nt include oversize non std bolts? Steve Rankin TC 6646

Group members restoring my TA, I came to the conclusion that I have a wide petrol tank for an early TA, instead of the smaller tank of late TA and TC. Isn't there anybody who needs my wide tank and wants to swap it for a small one? I also need a left rear wing ( for late TA or TC), before some people wrote me already where to get it, but sorry, I lost the mails they did. Can anyone recommend a good supplier ?(in Europe please) Thanks Harry

Can anyone tell me how the streeing wheel comes off. I have the pinch bolt loose but not sure if I should use a puller, I thought that I may have missed somthing. The wheel looks to be a Brooklands after market 4 spokes. Thanks.

[/quote]Rolland, can you push the wheel up and down? If so, push it down and look
for a keeper at the top of the splines on the shaft.

either use a puller or VERY carefully use a wedge to widen the split on
the side of the hub. There should be a circlip at the top of the column
to keep the wheel from coming off the shaft. You'll need to remove the
center plate from the hub to get at it. The clip is missing on a lot of
TCs, and if the pinch bolt (or lever & cam lock on some TCs) is also loose
you risk the wheel landing in your lap at a most inopportune time. If
your circlip is missing, install one.

I'm going to be in Atlanta for about 7weeks starting May 1st, with almost nothing to do. If any list members in that area are interested in a yak or anything else to alleviate boredom, please drop me a private email. Steve Rankin 1948 TC 6646 1969 MGB 1975MGB 1950 MORRIS OXFORD Courtenay, B.C.

Good Morning, All: Rembember, Tues. the 23rd. is St. George's day in the UK. St. George, as you may (or not) know, is the patron saint of semi-downdraught carburettors on even years, and revolution-counter indicators on odd years. (there simply aren't enough patron saints around to cover ALL the parts, after all, and some must to "double up" of necessity) It is traditional to tape a red carnation to your tachometer on this occasion, or tie a red ribbon to the foremost carburettor (depending on which year it is) and those of you who are married are obliged, on this special day, to aid your wife with doing up the dishes. Failing to do that, you must take her out for Fish & Chips and Guinness Stout. Sorry, chaps, those are the rules, and tradition must be observed. If our boys in the RAF can do it, we can do no less. Those of you who are single, of course, must treat an elderly lady (preferably your mother, if applicable) to dinner, or at very least tea and crumpets. (after four p.m.) Hanging a garland of clovers on your cowl-mounted rear-view mirror is a much lesser-known tradition in our day, but be warned, this is considered tacky in Wales, and can get you jailed in Ireland. Finally, slaying symbolic dragons on St. George's day by jousting with German cars is right out. Happy St. George's day to all Sam

Over the past several days I have been receiving on a regular basis various e-mails that have picked up by my Norton Anitvirus software. It has become a real pain, and I have no idea where the infected e-mails are coming from. Has anyone else experienced a similar thing?
Thanks,
