These axle straps fit MGA, MGB, or the Midget/ Healey Sprite.  Made from heavy duty nylon with a tensile strength of over 3800lbs, (manufacturer’s specs) they are far superior to any rubber replacement axle strap on the market.  Each strap is stitched around all edges using light wax, heavy nylon thread. Three times over for the loop ends, once through the longer edges, and a cross or “X” are double stitched through the center for superior strength. These are hand made from USA materials in the USA. They can also be made to order for your specific needs, whether you need a stock length or a short strap for your modified and racing suspensions. Total weight for both straps is 1 ounce. Custom lengths are at no additional charge.

Please note that any metal sleeve used in original straps will need to be reused for proper mounting.
Please specify upon ordering for what model and year MG the straps are being made.

The price is $25 for a complete set of axle straps (2)
plus shipping.

Side Curtain Bags
These high quality bags were designed expressly for the Triumph TR2/TR3/TR3A/B but can also be used on MGA, Austin Healey, Jaguar XK120 series, Morgan, and most other British roadsters that are fitted with side curtains.  The side curtain bags are made from a tough vinyl that was developed to make bank deposit bags.  They hold both side curtains with a protective flannel lining and divider separating the two that greatly reduce the likelihood of scratches on delicate surfaces. The bag is sealed with both snaps and a Velcro strip,. This bag slips neatly into the trunk, behind the seats, or can be attached to the luggage grid. There is also a nylon-carrying strap. Recommended by the Triumph Register of America club, and the Roadster Factory, one of the very few sources of rebuilt side curtains. 
Convertible Top Bags
The convertible top bag is made of the same tough vinyl as described above and is also flannel lined to protect the plastic top windows against scratching. Designed expressly for the Triumph TR2/TR3/TR3A/B but can also be used on MGA, Austin Healey, Jaguar XK120 series, Morgan, and most other British roadsters.  The hood stick cover and tonneau can also fit neatly inside the bag. It is sealed with both snaps and a Velcro strip. This bag slips neatly into the trunk, behind the seats, or can be attached to the luggage grid.

     When the front suspension for the MGB was updated from the MGA design, little changed in the way of front end geometry. The 7½ degrees of castor needed to self centre the steering when using bias ply tires remained unchanged on the MGB production line. The slip angle of modern radial tires is considerably less (than bias ply) and generally require only about 2½ degrees castor for the steering to “self centre”. Large steering wheels and skinny tires tended to hide the heavy steering that we experienced.
            With the availability of wider wheels and radial tires this problem is even more obvious. The harder you turn into a turn, the more effort required.   Changing the castor to more “modern” specifications reduces the off centre steering effort. 
            This idea is certainly not new. Ken Costello designed a similar product for the V8 cars he was turning out years ago. Now the design has finally been updated and made affordable by Targett Motorsports. The new shims are made in the USA of dense reinforced nylon, which obviates dissimilar metal corrosion. They are inserted between the body and the sub-frame mounting pads and specially designed to give positive position location. This in effect tilts the entire sub-frame to reduce the castor by approximately 5 degrees. Installation is straight forward and takes an experienced mechanic about an hour to fit.  No “glueing “ is required.

This unit can be installed in your standard “D” rear brake, tail and license plate light such as are found on the MG TC and others.  Instructions are provided and the installation is straight forward.  The big advantage is that they give a much brighter light so it adds an increased safety factor without detracting from the original look.   The current loading is reduced, which is another point in its favour.  An absolute must in today’s driving conditions.  Be safe, be seen.    Positive and negative ground versions available.  Payment by PayPal, cheque or money order.

We have NEW high performance red ignition ROTORS currently available for virtually all Lucas 4 cylinder distributors through 1974. (see photo top right). The 6 cylinder version is coming soon! They fit better than any rotor currently available, and ALL the common causes of failure have been eliminated.  They're being introduced at $15 for two rotors (so you always have a spare).

We also offer a new "topside" timing pointer and timing tape kit for the 1800 MGB engines and the 1275 A-series engines that have the factory bottom-mount pointers (see photo top left). This inexpensive kit at $20 obviates the need to climb under your car to check ignition timing.    

NEW TOOLING!!! We just purchased a new machine that does automated polishing! This is chemically accelerated vibratory finishing process, so it can polish steel shafts, polish aluminum housings, etc. and the results are very impressive.    Send your unit in or call us and we will give you a quote.
