MG TD TF 1500 - MG TD Tub Replacement

Helping a friend with a restoration and he is looking to buy a Tub replacement. Do you know of a source for these.

Thanks

Two real choices, I suppose: re-do an existing tub, or get a new one from Hutson in the UK. Certainly cheaper than Moss...

Be sure to look at the Youtube video about the Hutson tubs for T-series cars. Very educational, especially the part where the worker "adjusts" the door for a better fit!

Thanks I passed the info onto him. This has been a long time getting this done and he actually lost the Tub over the years.

I have personally purchsed over 10 tubs from Hutson and without fil all were extremely well finished.
Note 2 tubs will fit in one cardboard crate and can be air shipped. As the shipment was charged by Cubic displacement I used to have several other UK suppliers deliver items to Hutson and they woud include them inside their crates.

I bought a tub from Hutson for my TD and was not satisfied.
1. The tub supplied had the wriong dash
2. The captive nuts to hold the rear wings had the wrong type of nut. They should be BSF but were UNC. (I was told that they always were UNC but my old tub is the original - made in 1952)
3. The door fit was and is poor.

If you have a good wood worker close by and the original tub get one made locally. For my TF I got one made locally and it is better.

Note that the aluminium for the shell maybe the wrong thickness because thinner material is easier to fit BUT it dents easily.
