MG MGA - Le Mans type air intake grill

Does anyone know where I can source a couple of these?..please don't suggest Angloparts, who list them, never have them in stock, and are the world's biggest rip-off merchants! I've emailed Bob West, but just realised he is probably in Le Mans at the moment.

Bob did not go to Le Mans this year. I was over at his place on Friday. He is normally shut on Monday. If you like I will give him a nudge on Tuesday morning as he is not the most frequent of PC users.

Interestingly, I asked him about mesh grilles (not Le Mans) and he said he has often supplied the mesh. However, he did not like the look as it reminded him of flower pot holders in graveyards!

Isn't the Le Mans grille simply a normal one with 8 slats removed? Pictures I have show 4 slats in the centre and one at the edge.

While you are at Bob's can you ask if he is going to MG Live at Silverstone this year and if so which day. Are you going?
Sorry to hijack the thread.

I think what Gary means are the oval air inlets at the side of the grille that connect to the air inlet for the heater.

I think the guys in La Jolla have them

Thanks Steve and Dominic..yes, I mean the factory oval ones. I guess the white T shirt with the red cross will be at Silverstone??
Gary Lock

Sorry Dom, meant red T shirt with white cross of course!

Hi Gary

No I will not be there, too much else to do here.

I finally cornered Bob. He has your email and will respond. He apologises; rushed off his feet.

Bruce: Bob will be at Silverstone but not as a trader, just wandering around. May be worth getting his mob number if you want to meet up.

Thanks Steve - will contact Bob later. I have his mobile number. Are you there Saturday? Seems there are "meet in the beer tent" messages out for 1300hrs and/or 1700hrs on MGA BBS and Twin Cam sites!
