We are pleased to announce two new Regalia items.  I will let David Pelham explain as he is responsible for having made these items possible.

The MG Car Club Y Register are pleased to announce that a small number of ‘Mushroom’ headed bolts with zinc plated, nylon insert nuts have been commissioned and are now available from Regalia Sales. We are also pleased that we have a supply of Seat Runner (Brass) Strips; these are better quality than the originals with much improved handling of the seat. The seat bolts/nuts are sold in ‘sets’ of four at £12.50 and the Brass Strips are sold in pairs at £9.00.  Both items can be purchased separately, but if you are replacing bolts then new Brass Strips are highly recommended.

We anticipate a ‘run’ on these items as nobody else manufactures them and special tooling was required for both items. The Bolts are identical to the original including the ¼ UNC threads. We have sufficient to renovate 40 seats as 20% of the run has been accounted for by pre-sales orders. If you need or are likely to need either of these items you are advised to order ASAP.

As a result of increased spamming activity Mike Plumstead, who runs the excellent Bulletin Board and Classified Advertisement service for us, is increasingly reducing the number of IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that can post anonymously to the BBS. As a result of this you may find that you get a message saying that "you have to be a member to post here".  To LOGIN or create a free REGISTRATION, simply select the login or register link either here or on the BBS page.  Remember your login User Name and Password though as only you have control of this.  You can also use your login to create Wanted and For Sale adverts.
