Hmm- Loose/broken engine mount? (Just cuz they're new means nothing)
How 'bout a failing U-Joint? Speed related vibration, goes away when you step 
on the clutch. 
Loose spring mounting? (Front or rear)

And yes, Chip- Abingdon Spares is more around than ever, and Jerry continues 
to add to the available parts. (As well as his MG Museum in Westminster VT).
