MG TD TF 1500 - Licenseplate application test tomorrow
Finally, the big day is only one night away: tomorrow, wednesday afternoon the 1951 TD 5652 will sign up for a licenseplate test. A formal governemental check for a cars legitimicy (checking numbers and its readability, verifying the documents) testing lights and brakes and steering, check if all bolts are ok and safety wired if applicable, check if petrol and brakelines are fitted correctly. So, today I rechecked and rechecked and it looks good. Tomorrow morning a short drive to the petrolstation and in the afternoon to the testlocation (20 km). I am pretty sure that accompanied by all of your thoughts she and I will pass the test. Greetings, Huib

| Wonderful! - from boxes of bits to that. And heaven knows trhe effort that's gone into it, too. A friend of mine once bought a frogeye in pieces. He struggled for a year before it overwhwelmed him and he sold it on ..... in slightly bigger pieces than he'd bought it, but in bits nonetheless. Congratulations. |

| Huib, you gotta give us a YouTube tour and ride! I'm desperately in need of some inspiration now, especially in the dashboard area. I'm so close but so far away. You know the feeling I'm sure. Ed |

| Ed, here is a close-up from the dash. I changed the central dash plate and instead of the the sockets I made two holes, one for an extra dash coil wound warning light (bought from S-V-C in UK) that is connected to the brakelights and one for a indicator switch that I can operate with one finger whilst holding the wheel. I spend many hours to get the bead around the dashdoor. I wanted the color of the wheelwood same/close to the dash. The oilpressure meter and ampsmeter swapped position and now my codriver can easily also keep her eye on the oil. Hidden here are the bolts that hold the central dash. Somewhere in THE archives I found the suggestion to make longer bolts and use wingnuts at the back in order to able to take out the central dash easily. The hole in the backdash is same as hole in frontdash to allow the bolts to come through. I bought some stainless lcokbolts, a friend with a lathe worked the heads into the small shapes like original and i polished them. So, thanks very much to the BBS member who ones made that suggestion. Greetings, Huib  |
