This would not include the fewer number ( I count 18-20) that hold the rear quarters to this same inside arch. It just seems like alot of nails; Just checking after all this wood is finished..

Matching numbers.
My TC has chassis 6316, engine XPAG 7000 and a body plate saying BODY TYPE
B280 & BODY No 6091 A 32103.
I am interested hearing from others who have original numbers - body in
particular.
Regards,
Bert Dive.

Subject: Tickler pins
Madhu's problems with floats prompts me to remind folks that the tickler
pins on the bowl lids are a source of an inferno if a float sinks - gas will
come pouring out around the pin, possibly igniting. Phil Marino had this
occur several years ago to his TC and it cost him dearly to re-restore his
engine compartment.
Several ways to fix the problem including o-rings around the tickler pin -
The best solution - to sealing the holes off with epoxy, or a wood dowel, or
whatever.

Dear All,
I am getting closer to the point. The float is not defect. In TC
0448 the two flat chamber lids are different. The rear one got a pin to
press down the float and got a solid liver operating the float valve. The
front one do not have this pin and the liver operating the float looks
entirely different. I am sure this front problem carburettor was fiddled by
PO several times.
I tried to get a new grosser Jet. But it is not readily available.
Yesterday I run the engine for a short while after replacing the float
valve. Now the both float chamber is marinating almost the same fuel level.
So I will check the fuel level today morning.
As Terry advised I checked the float liver, it is getting stuck. The
liver
had to have a little tab restricting the liver going too far down. This is
not set proper. If the float is empty the liver goes down too much letting
the needle slip out. So it get stuck. So the flooding the carburettor is the
result.
The car is starting at the very fist turn. So I did not fiddle with
the
ignition timing. I thought it is better do set it proper after fixing the
carburettors and slow running. I also do not trust the new Champion spark
plugs.
Thank you all once again.

Hi Terry,
Your mail came few hours late. I went to the local shop today
afternoon, got an exchange lid with tickler so that both look alike. TC 448
had two lids with connections on the left side. I never noticed it. Now I
got a right connection to for the front carburettor with pre set valve. I
fixed the lid to the carburettor and and tuned the switch and pulled the
starter. Like a wonder all the four cylinders are working with the same
power. The trouble was only with the sticking float valve. I also got new
over flow pipes. But as you said it is of no use combining this pipe with
tickler.
I will keep the ticklers at present but may fill the bottom with epoxy`d
soon. The oil sump leak is also fixed. Now I can do all the fine tuning of
engine and finish the wiring.
Thank God. Thanks to all members who came with an advise.
Madhu

Betreff: Re: AW: [mg-tabc] Re:colortune
Madhu, another caution, get rid of that tickler pin on the one float
chamber. Find another one like the one with no tickler. The problem is
that if the float bowl floods, the petrol will flow out of the tickler and
not the overflow perhaps causing a fire. We lost one TC to this cause. The
tickler can also be epoxy'd shut or a very small oring added to it to make
sure petrol does not flow up through the tickler. Having a tickler is not
worth the danger of a fire.

I got a call today from Fred Troyan (email FPTroyan@aol.com) who was
unaware
of our T-ABC program. He told me that he owns TC 6488, a "best of show
car"
and "one of only three known to have matching numbers" (I think he was
referring to engine and chassis numbers). Has anyone heard of the three
cars
with engine and chassis numbers that match?

PS I invited Fred to join us, but haven't heard from him yet.

hi Larry - if you want the proper head, I can make them for you. As Dave
Edgar says, you can use standard modern metrics, but the larger heads make
life a little more difficult. Or you can do as I do, and use 3/8" BSF, they
are after all only clamping two flanges together.

On the TABC web technology web site is a listing of all engine bolts used.
http://mg-tabc.org/techn-up/fasteners.htm
According to that the Carb to manifold bolt is:
10 - 1.5MM 3/4" in length, 5/16W bolt head size
Original part number was LA7153 and a Moss number of 320-510
If you don't mind not having a Whitworth size head on it you can go to your
local hardware or automotive supply store for one I would think.

BlankHi TC fans,
I have a problem with the starter switch on the TC and I understand there is
a contact replacement
kit available. They do not list it as being available in the Moss catalog,
they do list a
replacement switch for $50, but would like to repair the original if
possible. Does anyone on the
list repair these?

There are 2 different types of T2 ( T series size) float bowl
covers
tickler pins not withstanding, AUD 2283 and AUD 2284 are later covers which
use a float fork made out of stainless steel and has the pivots at the float
hinge pin sort of bent and shaped like the tines of a fork. All the other
covers
AUC 1160, 1161, 4260, 4261 , etc., use a float fork which the pivot on the
fork is bent steel with a hole drilled into it. These covers are
interchangeable
as a unit you cannot just change forks. The difference is the height of the
pedestals that the fork attaches to.
Regarding Float needles I prefer using a AUD 9585 float needle this is a
viton tipped needle with a solid brass body, I have the least amount of
troubles
with them.
