AXLE STRAPS

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 & OTHER BAGS

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. 

Tool bags are also available

MGB CASTOR SHIMS

     When the front suspension for the MGB was updated from the MGA design, little changed in the way of front end geometry. The 7˝ 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 2˝ 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.

            The shims are $54.00 (prepaid), $62.00 (credit card) or $66.00 (COD) including shipping to the lower 48 States.
