MG MGA - Rusty Moose and Scarborough Faire

Just a quick endorsement of these two.

I put in a Scarborough Faire grill in and what a difference.

1) It looks great
2) I've seen a notable decline in operating temps. My old grill had slats too close together. The operating temps used to run 190 degrees. Its dropped by 5-10 degrees.

Fitting it was pretty easy. Its not perfect, but that's to do with the imperfect shape of the nose of the car.

Now to Rusty Moose mg specialist mechanic shop in Grand Haven. Simply fantastic. They had the car turned around in 3 days and even cleaned it. Very honest too. I thought I needed a new head gasket. They just re-torqued it and it was all resolved. For all I knew he could have told me he put the new gasket in and charged me for that.

Definitely recommended.

One trick with a grill not letting enough air through is to gently bend the slats to increase the open area,

Paul,

Thanks.

That is the primary benefit of the Scarborough Faire grill.

It is an exact reproduction of the original and the slats are place far enough apart so they don't have to be bent.

I had to do that with my former grill.

I chatted with Cecelia of Scarborough Faire at GT-47 and she said their grill has been selling quickly with great reviews.

As always she is an amazing source of info for all things MGA.

Also chatted with Barney Gaylord, Bruce Woodson, and John Twist. What a great collection of MGA knowledge in one place!
