The MGF Register Forums

Thanks guys. I'll check out eBay for a set.

Of course most sellers are surprised when someone from Canada is bidding on their items.

I am missing one factory locking wheel nut. Does anyone sell these individually? How do I know which one I need? I can't see a code on the locking wheel nut key.

I had read that. I guess this one must have received a good coat of paint. There are no signs of a respray and the paint is in very good condition.

Ain't that the truth Rich, the fun has only begun here in Canada!

I was planning to buy a BRG F but I ended up buying one in Amaranth instead.

I joined the forum a few weeks ago with the hope of soon owning a F. I am please to announce that I bought a 1995 MGF yesteday. It's N398PUT and Amaranth in colour. The body is in excellent condition, no signs of corrosion in the sills near the rear tires. But I have no information on if the head ga...

Did you push the pistons back into the caliper? A C-clamp can be use to help move the pistons back into the caliper.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I completely agree with Geoff's comment. I had 8 year old tires on my MGBGT, which has lots of tread, but the rubber was no longer soft and pliable. Even on damp roads I would loose traction. I bought a new set of tires and it was like night and day. The old tires were worn out ev...

Thanks Kasper. I too will be interested in what you learn. Hoses are easy to upgrade, but when you have to start worrying about injector seals or the like it becomes more of a concern. I live in Canada's "chemical valley", which is surrounded by corn fields and has one of the countries largest ethan...

Hi Rich,

I was hoping that you would chime in. I'm thinking rubber fuel lines will be the ones to watch to deterioration. I know on my lbcs that I replace fuel lines every fuel years due to cracking and leaking. Hopefully high pressure fuel injection lines won't need replacing.

I'm thinking of buying a MGF since the oldest ones are over 15 yrs old, and it is now possible to import them into Canada. Where I live all fuel has a maximum of 10% ethanol. I remember the "fun" I went through with my 73 MGBGT and 80 Spitfire when they first experienced E10 gasoline: rubber gaskets...

I've been browsing this site for a few months now and have found it to have a large number friendly and helpful members. Hopefully my dream of owning a F is fulfilled soon.

Hi everyone. I’m new to this board but have owned a MGBGT for 13 years and have been interested in MGFs for almost as long. This past summer a friend visited from England with his MGTF and was fortunate to spend an afternoon in the passenger seat. Since then I have been thinking about how to get one...
