MG Car Repair: 79 MG, british roadster, mg midgets

Question
Hello Mr.Howard,

My father owns 1979's MG which has Spitfire engine.
And it is a California version so that there is EGR component inside.
I have been looking for a L-shaped EGR pressure hose.
but, I am not sure if this is the right name to be called.
I ordered some catalog for MGB and Spitfire but it seems like there is no EGR stuff in Spitfire's catalog.
How could I look for the part?
If I could upload picture, I want to show the pictures because I have pictures of the broken part and the engine room.
Please tell me any suggestions.
Sorry for lack of informations.


Answer
Hi YT,
Yes, all MG midgets from 75 on had 1500 Spitfire engines. As for a name of a hose all you need is to describe the hose to who ever you are trying to purchase it from, Moss Motors, Victoria British, Roadster Factory or Engel Imports. Just tell them where it goes from/to and if it is metal or rubber. Some had a metal pipe with a banjo fitting on one end others were rubber and in a "U" shape. All the suppliers have toll free numbers so you can call them and ask if they have such a hose. Most parts are still available for that car. Look on the net for each phone number to call.
