Thanks to all who responded to my questions above: Mike Leckstein, Bud
Krueger, Lewis Palmer, John Swanland, Terry Sanders, Dave DuBois, Jarl
deBoer, Bob Grunau, Bob Howard, and Blair Engle. I will pass the information
on to my friend tomorrow at our local MG club's(Lanco) monthly meeting. By
the way, he is one of the all too few younger generation T-series
enthusiasts so its great to be able to help him keep his TD on the road.
There isn't much action on this MG-T list; I guess we have a lot of answer
people rather than people with questions.
Thanks again,
Charlie
