Many manuals for the early MG Midgets include data related to all of the associated model variants beginning with the M Type of 1929 through the TF1500 of 1955. While this extensive coverage is admirable, it results in a manual that is often confusing, with minimized information and it is extremely difficult to follow for a particular model due to the fact that any related information is combined under a number of different model types in order to prevent duplication.
This Floyd Clymer publication focuses on the post-war (1945-1955) TC, TD and TF series which accounted for 94% of the total production run of all T series MG's. It's a logical association of those models due to the similarity and, in many cases, the identical nature of their mechanical (and electrical) components and assemblies. However, at almost 200 pages, there is adequate space available to document repair and overhaul procedures whenever they differ within those model types.
This publication includes complete technical data, service and maintenance information and detailed instructions for the repair and overhaul of the major mechanical and electrical components including: Engine, Fuel system, Cooling system, Clutch, Transmission, Rear axle, Steering, Front and Rear suspension, Brakes and Electrical components. In addition, the Body, Lubrication, Torque wrench settings and General specifications are dealt with in the Appendix. It also includes a comprehensive index and a section devoted to 'Performance Tuning' for road and competition. There is adequate detailed text and diagrams to assist in major refurbishing such as an engine rebuild or even a complete renovation and we are pleased to be able to offer this manual as a service to all MG TC, TD, TF and TF1500 Midget owners and enthusiasts worldwide.
