MG T Chesapeake(as appeared in the Winter, 2012 TSR) By Art Fournier As editor, I get copies of several other clubs’ newsletters. The August 2012 edition of the Shenandoah Valley British Car Club’s newsletter had an informative article on how to determine the age of your tires, which caused me to look into the subject. Tire age […]
(as appeared in the Fall, 2011 TSR, reprinted from Aug/Sep 1972 TSR) By Chip Old At our July 23 Technical Session two different people asked the question “I’m using a TD head on an TF block. Will this cause any problems?” The answer is no. TB, TC, TD, and TF 1500 heads are not all […]
(as appeared in the Fall, 2010 TSR) By John Wright This article begins with a short update on the brake overhaul I discussed in the December 2009 issue. My TC brakes have begun to bed in nicely. At first I must say that with new shoes and ALFIN drums I expected more, much more. But […]
(as appeared in the Summer, 2010 TSR) By Milton Babirak In my last article, I said I would attempt to nickel plate the three ID plates on my 1951 TD. In this article, I report on my efforts and their results. The plates in question are: a small patent plate, listing various patent numbers applicable […]
(as appeared in the December, 2009 TSR) By Milton Babirak The Square Rigger has a rich and long history of excellent technical advice. Our Chapter’s current Technical Advisor is John Wright. The depth and scope of his knowledge is extraordinary. He has been the “go to” guy for me whenever I had a problem I […]
(as appeared in the Dec, 2009 TSR) By John Wright I have owned my TC for 23 years and the car has never really had any brakes. I think a stick dragging on the pavement would have been more effective than my old TC’s binders. So I set out to fix things this fall, and […]
(as appeared in the Dec, 2009 TSR) By Milton Babirak The title of this column was conceived somewhat whimsically as a disclaimer to highlight my utter lack of technical expertise. I have only restored one car (with substantial assistance from several experts), and during the course of that titanic clash of a novice’s ignorance with […]
(as appeared in the Nov, 2008 TSR) By John Wright Much like it is today in vintage racing, there was a timewhen T-series MGs were the staple of the sports car racing scene. You might remember my last article about the 1954 race at Andrews AFB. Of the 165 cars on the entry list, 40 […]
(as appeared in the Nov, 2008 TSR) By John Wright Mike Hughes draws our attention to the following article: “More than an Oil Change”. by Jonathan A. Stein, reprinted courtesy of HagertyPlus, LLC, copyright 2008, at www.hagerty.com. Formula modifications could mean it’s time to reexamine the oil you use in your collector car. Most car […]
(as appeared in the Jun, 2007 TSR) By John Wright Several months ago I got an email from someone who was soon to be our newest member. He was looking for a TD to purchase and I told him about one I knew of but had never seen. The car was located in northeastern MD […]
