Good morning Rick ...
1) I just looked at Eliot, our 1953 unrestored TD and find that the nuts are
in the engine compartment. No lock washers are in evidence.
2) Eliot has some carpet material on that steel cover.
Cheers
Gene,

Subject: [Mg-t] a couple of questions
Morning Friends,
Please help me if you know the answer to these questions;
1) On a LHD late TD (1953) with the floor-mounted headlight dimmer switch
(which is actually mounted on the inside of the cowl), which way are the
three mounting bolts oriented - bolts inside with nuts in the engine
compartment, or visa-versa? My car had the bolts in the cockpit and the
nuts under the bonnet - but we all know that 'the way it is' is not always
'the way it was' in a 60-year-old car!
2) Same car. There is an oblong cover on the transmission cover that when
removed, provides access to the gearbox dipstick and filler port.
My car had this little steel cover covered with black carpet - and a rather
sloppy job of it. When new, was this cover carpeted, covered in Rexine or
simply painted?
Thanks,
-rick, up early
