I recently purchased a TC that was totally dismantled in 1958.  The only identification I have is the engine number that is: XPAG6815.  Unfortunately the firewall plate is missing and the frame number is not legible due to considerable rust (I can just make out the "TC").  I think this car was originally imported to Vancouver, Canada.  Can anyone supply any information about this car with regard to the chassis number and build date?                Cheers, Hugh Pite

 Jim,
    Awhile back someone made some wonderful Polo Shirts and Sweatshirts with Austin’s wonderful logo’s on them. Mine are wearing out and would like some replacements. Are they still available?

Regarding half shafts ,or axles as we call them.
I have 6 sitting in my garage at present,all of them appear to be of different temper,
some i can mount in the lathe and skim with no problem, but with two, a tungsten tool
will only rub the metal off them. I found this out when I attempted to fit an axel and hub
assembly into the RHS side of the diff assembly and found it a tight fit into the spider gears, removed it and found
it to be about 0.005 " oversize.rubbed 0.005 off it and it fitted ok I have had these axles for many years so do not remember where
they came from
I feel that the problem with the axle -hub fit up is that new hubs are made from an easy machining steel to suit the modern CNC
process, I no longer have access to a heat  treatment facility to be able to check out the hardness of the material but it could be interesting.

Any comments

 It’s me again, what does the group in the US of A use to polish the aluminum dash pots and manifold. Mine need shining badly
Thanks

Elbow grease!

However, semi-chrome polish is very good for this. But it still requires elbow grease.

I used to use simichrome polish, but I found that Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish (available at auto parts chain stores) works very well and costs less.   Steve Tom TC/5311

Hi Gang, How do you get the mildew spots out of stayfast top and tonneaus after winter storage? Any secret solutions? Thanks John Patterson TC 7025, Frankfort, Mi
