In response to a question on the Bulletin Board on front and rear hub pullers and
what they should look like, we realised we had a gap in the provision of information concerning the Special Tools that a dealer would have
had available to him. So, we have added a Special Tools page to the Technical Centre pages for you.
Also, today, please welcome Peter Vielvoye as the new owner of
Y 4276 to Ys on
Parade. Peter also owns YT 2731 and is currently Chairman of the MG Car Club Y Type Register too.

David Pelham is organising a Y Type Tour in Brittany during the second week of
September. The Tour will depart from Portsmouth on the 9th September at 07:00 and will return on Friday 14th September in the early evening.
There will be stopovers in Normandy on both the outward and return journeys. The base hotel will be near Ploermel which will be the base
camp for three nights. Numbers are strictly limited, as a Family Run hotel is being used, it will be
‘first come first served basis’, so please contact David directly if interested for more details.
A handy conversion from Fractions to Decimals to Millimetres has been added to the
Technical Data page and also to the Downloads to the left of this
page.

Today, please welcome, Richard Knight, owner of three MG YBs, with his third MG YB
YB 0824 to Ys on Parade. I am sure in time this one will be restored to the
high standard of his other YB 0655 too. Thank you Richard for sharing that with us.
Richard has also recommended Lincon Batteries of the UK who have been added to our
Links page.
Finally, we are delighted to also add the MG Car Club Y Type Register notes from
December 2011 Safety Fast as part of our mutual
cooperation agreement. These notes concentrate on a profile of Dennis Doubtfire, who has
been one of the instrumental people (along with the likes of John Lawson and
David Lawrence) in putting MG Y Types in the forefront of the public domain for many years. Dennis is certainly one of the most
charming of people, a real gentleman and I read the notes with much enjoyment, well done Jerry - great choice of topic!

Today, please welcome, Roger Da Forno as the new owner of
Y 6062 to Ys on Parade.
The Picture of the Month comes from Victor Rodrigues,
Switzerland.
November 2011 was a busy month for MG Ys in the classic car press as we add Octane
Magazine to the Reprinted Article page with a superb article on Marc Hanson's YB.
A new technical page has been added in the
Technical Data
section on SU Fuel Pump overhauling. As a reminder, the International MG Spares Day
takes place later this month - see the Events page for more details.
