MG MG Y Type - Track rod end dust caps.

Having checked the archived contributions I found one from John who had purchased some dust covers from a source on EBay. I contacted the company but they sell six different sized rubber boots (all called universal fit) but they are sized by 1. Small hole diameter, 2. Large hole diameter and 3. Height. All measurements in cms. John commented simply that they were SMALL. Because of the narrow tolerance to avoid them fouling and being damaged the size is obviously quite critical. These were sold in fours by PGEnterprises on EBay. Does anyone still have any that they could measure so I might order the correct ones.
Thanks, Bob.

Owner who had contributed information and to whom I have sent email through this club is Jhn Foster from Humberside but I am not sure if message has reached him so if anyone can help please as I am off road until I can find some or replace complete T R ends.

Bob, I haven't received an email but have just seen your thread. I have dug out the bag with the two spare dust covers and there is a piece of paper with a Ref STR07 and the sizes: 1.Height 22mm 2. Small hole 10mm 3. Large hole 25mm. These fitted perfectly, just missing the brake drum. Hope this helps, Regards, John

Hi John,
Thanks for the info and your email. It was just what I needed. Might seem a small matter to some, but shows the fellowship of Y owners, the wealth of helpful knowledge and the usefulness of this forum. Thanks to all who facilitate it.

No problem Bob. I know what you mean about the forum - in my local club I only know of one other Y, and only see it at one show a year, if that. To get advice and help from around the world, often within minutes, is amazing. Long may it continue,
John

John Foster if you would like to see a few more Y types come along to the Doncaster classic car show on the 3rd July. I have a MG Y Type register stand and expect 8 or 9 Y types attending. If you require more info please ring me on 07891316292. Cheers Chris Pick

Chris, thanks for that, but we are away from next week until 11th July. Also, unfortunately, I work on a Sunday, until Christmas, when I retire, but I would certainly be interested in anything local like this next year. Again, thanks for the offer. I have uploaded a photo of my YA doing a prom for a friends daughter,
John
