MG TD TF 1500 - Midge radiator caps anywhere?

I read the history of "The Midge" in Moss' British Motoring Magazine last week, and it got me wondering whether anybody has cast a few of them lately.

I know it sounds silly, but I'm thinking it may be the final touch to a 6-year restoration full of craziness and false starts and insane cost overruns.

A quick search turned up a few original castings that have sold for around 200£, but I'm looking for a fifty buck one.

Any leads, anyone? Or can you Moss guys reading this commission a run of them?

You're going to have to cut and paste these links in to make them work (at least I did when I was trying them out).

Not a buck fifty but available...just consider it another cost overrun.

Good luck on the Fifty Buck one- ;^)

The Midge was used mostly on pre-war cars anyway.

Maybe a little whimsy ?

No whimsy, Dallas, this is a serious business.

I'd even go for Mister Toad's Wild Ride.



Dave Jorgensen

Here is another good choice from back in the day. This was the Inskip Lion.
