MG TD TF 1500 - Shack nasties.... TF 1414 glove box upholstery

First major winter storm of the season hit New England this weekend so to help alleviate the cabin fever I set up my temporary bench in front of the TV. Perfect anecdote while watching the Patriot's & NFL pre-game and I worked on the glove boxes.

Not complicated work but it is a little fussy. I used split rivets like original however I don't think the ones from the factory were nickel plated.

Also correctly installed the trip reset to the glove box that is often missing or installed incorrectly on restorations.

Go Pats!

Beautiful workmanship. This car will be a real show stopper. Will you be at the Plymouth GOF in June?
Be well, David

Frank,

Another terrific job!

Don't know if you have already discussed this … what paint (type/brand/color) did you use on the instrument cluster?

Lonnie, search the archives that I created in 2014. The title is "TF #1414 dash & center console paint project". I have pictures of my color matching and the paint codes. If you have any questions, send me an email.

Dave - I'd like to go with the TF. It would be nice to attend a GOF in a T series for the first time instead of my car or HD. Looking at the date for Lonnie's question, it's been a long time coming!!

I added Franks formulas to the TF finish page. Make sure you follow his note on the non use of Flop, which helped settle the metallics.
