MG MGA - MGA Air Filter Gauze

Dear MGA Owners

I am chasing an original MGA air filter gauze. I have everything else including the original filter elements and housing but have only one external gauze. Does anyone have one for sale or know of a good substitute. My intention is to fully restore this car 34868 (Australian MGA number 32). I am of course prepared to pay postage cost to Australia.

Best regards

Bruce -
Are you referring to the metal mesh that surrounds the filter element? (I don't have one but was curious as to what you are looking for.) You might have to buy a complete used filter, etc. on eBay.

Looking as you described the mesh surround

Best regards

Steve, I am going to drive my MGA to your city one of these weekends. Which place do you recommend to eat at. Who has the best pastrys. It will probley be this winter when the temp is around 70 and I can drive with the top down. I will try to make there if I am still alive from all the other readers puting pins in my doll and beating the crap out of me for enjoying our wonderful winter!!!!.

Steve S. how about a run there for New Years day or any other day. It would be a fun day.

Jeff, Sitting here cold and damp in the English winter - sticking pins in your doll waiting for some sun to drive the MGA - which is covered up in the garage with its battery on trickle waiting patiently for a run out - cheers Cam

You too Cam - some people do love winding us up...
No good down here either!

I guess I will find out shortly how the other half lives this time of the year. I will be in the UK in early Febuary. Maybe the snow will melt by then. I do have a pain in my back... is that the pin you stuck in me Cam?
JEFF BECKER

Hey Cam, what's all this putting the car away for the winter? Best remedy for damp is to get the air blowing through the rigging.

Mind you, got a bit wet today, but oh, nothing to beat the smell of a recently run MGA wafting out of the garage into the kitchen!

Hi Jeff -

Best Danish pastries in Solvang are at the Danish Mill Bakery on Copenhagen. Lunch - Los Olivos Grocery in Los Olivos and dinner is Brothers Restaurant in Mattei's Tavern in Los Olivos. Not sure what we are doing New Years, I am redoing the A's seats right now and some tuneup but should be in fine running shape by then.

Steve in Solvang
