Re: 1933 Maddox Fixed head Coupe EN 5810

SU pump. Check out ebay No 142926003929. MG moved the pump from under the bonnet [LP pump] to down by the tank [HP pump]during production of the TF to get over the problem of fuel vaporisation. Should you consider doing that with rear tank [SV] models. I am seriously considering doing that with the ...

Re: Parts wanted for 1934 Minor Maddox special

6V SU pump. Not now going to Beaulieu. May I humbly suggest that you buy a new pump from Burlen with alloy base [ £100 + VAT] or brass base [£200 +VAT] as any s/hand 6V pump, not particularly common, would need to be refurbished with at least a new diaphragm to cope with modern fuel [refurb kit £30 ...

Re: Minor front aprons

Interesting. I will do some research. My Jensen has 33 type but it is made of aluminium and does seem to fit very well over the rivets holding the front dumb irons to the chassis side rails. I have found a coil that would have been fitted to the steering column - the primary is OK, still have to tes...
