MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Left overs

As we get towards the end of the rebuild we have some surplus parts to dispose of, and to say thanks to all for the help received in moments of doubt, you get the first dibs before it all goes on ebay! Make your offers: most parts are for 1275 1967 car. We will post from Germany to keep the costs down (postage from here makes me want to cry).

1. Main wiring loom cloth bound (everything to the right A pillar including dash, but no headlight /sidelight pigtails). New

2. Brake master single circuit, new

3. Clutch master, new

4. Clutch slave, new

5. pair of halfshafts steel wheel

6. fuel pipe set, new

7. one front sidelight, new

8. set of steel wheel rear hubs, used

9. radiator vertical flow, used, no leaks

There's a host of other small bits which I have to make a list of, will follow in a few days.

Just like chocolate, you can never have to many spares, it might be wise to create them and put on a low shelf in the basment storage, no doulbt, once there gone, there need will rise agian

Murphys law will follow you to the german post office and beyound

Go ahead! Say it, I dare you... "I wont need those extra parts"

Hahaha

For what year is the loom?
And what are you asking for it?

Hi Onno

It would appear to be for a later car, as it is the same as the one I have in the car, and has quite a few wires that are not relevant for a 67 car. It is definitely for two-speed wipers, and also has provision for reversing lights.

As to the price, make us a fair offer.

revers light I would want but 2 speed wipers not.
Don't want to pull wires out a new loom so not for me

Hi Dominic, is it a tin clutch master and if so what are you asking for it?

Thanks

No it is a Lockheed plastic one

As the car is essentially brand new, only the block, diff and gearbox casings and most gears are old, I will be very disappointed if we suddenly need to replace parts again.

I am going to take a pole of photos when I get the camera battery charged up and will make a page on my website .

Is there a Swiss Austin Healey/MG midget owners club that would appreciate these?

I would be tempted to hang on to the spares and only dispose of them when you sell the car and are convinced you will never have another one! The reason for this is the quality and availability of modern replacement parts. Also some parts can become scarce at later stages.

Hiya,

I thought only the very late 1500's had two speed wipers?


If it has 5 wires in the wiper block it is two speed, but surely that makes it for rubber bumper car?


Another giveaway will be wires for a handbrake light switch and the brake failure switch.
