I get this question a lot, "Do you have xxxx used part, or where can I find one?" Well, I am neither a vendor nor broker, so I do not regularly keep tabs on such things. I have enough to do without getting into the use parts business. Any efforts in that direction come at great expense by way of a debt of personal favor. But I can drop a few hints.

A room filled to the brim with Lucas electronic components shared by MGAs -- all unused in their dusty 1950s-1960s boxes. Even his electropneumatic trafficators looked to be fresh. A box of still-packaged Mowog and BMC spares -- maybe enough to rebuild several engines -- and even boxes of original fasteners waiting for concourse-bound cars. Huge heaps of starters, generators, SU fuel pumps, carbs, and on and on. This is a place to hunt for original -- although not necessarily unused -- parts. No contemporary replicas here.

BAVARIA: On 17 March 2013, Dominic Clancy in Switzerland wrote: As a long shot I would try LAWRENZ in Bavaria, details under lawrenz.de. (His site says he is closed for business at the moment). He has barns full of MGAs so may have what you need (if he responds). As fas as I know he does speak english". If you are having trouble finding a new part, get a copy of the original Service Parts List and look up the original factory part number. Put that in an internet search engine, and you are likely to find what you need. I recently found the retaining springs for the MGAclutch release plate through a Metropolitan parts supplier. Suggestions for additional sources of used MG parts welcome. |
