MG TD TF 1500 - Abingdon Spares is Sold and Moving

Just been notified that Abingdon Spares has been sold and is moving to Gorham, Maine, as of July 26th. To be reopened under new management on August 8th. Toll free number is to remain the same. I've known 800-225-0251 for many years.
Some of us still remember Gerry having A/S in Boston.
Ed will stay with them for a while. It'll be closer to Tom Lange.

And, I just burned myself on a going away present. For a lot of years the family has tended to buy A/S gift cards for me for most events. Last Monday I asked A/S to see if I had any gift card money on the books. Sure enough, I had a $50 one on the books. They'd appreciate it if I cleaned it up. Searched through the website looking for some sort of $50 item. Finally spotted an ad for a pair of chromed air filters for $54.55. Arrived yesterday. Got to them this afternoon. Rear one was a pain, but I got it on. Mounted the back plate for the front one and then my stupidity showed up. Those are the blankety-blankety things that try to take up space with the right side stay tube. No way that I'm going to do any stay tube bending. On top of that it makes it virtually impossible to tweak the jet adjusting nut. (I've been working on them for the past two weeks!)
Anybody want a pair of A/S 59-023 for half price? Bud

Exciting they will be less than 2 hours from me, interested to see if thing remain the same, although my last purchase was not ideal. Bought the only fuel pump they had for a TF and it wasn't correct. Refused to take it back telling me that all TFs run on low pressure pumps. Not true. Pumps on the firewall use low pressure, on the frame behind the passenger seat, high pressure.

Bud, you can move the front end of the stay tube lower on the rad so that it passes below the air filter. Worked for me.
