T-Series TC Firewall-mounted oil can

[MadRiver]

Howdy all. Got a question for my dad. He's restoring a TC between projects for clients, and he can't find a source for the nifty oil can and bracket that mounts on the firewall. The source he's purchased them from in the past for other TCs he's done no longer has them. Anyone know of a good source? The can needs to be in great shape, but he can repair/repaint the bracket. Thanks as always!

Don't know square riggers all that well, but, is it #1 on this page? I'm sure someone more knowledgeable about these will be along shortly.

Thanks, Colin! Sadly, I believe that Abbingdon Spares was my dad's usual source, and they appear not to be stocking them anymore.

Bill - Since Jerry Goegan passed away and Abingdon Spares was taken over by new people, a lot of things that were carried are no longer. Add to that the fact that some of the items are just no longer available anywhere and you may have to haunt e-Bay to find what you are looking for.
Cheers,

Jerry was a fantstic man and enthusiast!

I loved his Tickford with the diamond-shaped windows in the hood.

Did any of you ever see the pictures of him upside down in one of his MG race cars? He still had the helmet with the road rash on it!

I purchased a couple of MG models from him when he vended at the UML summer party several years back.

He is missed....that's for sure!
