MG MG Y Type - Top left windshield bracket

Hello everyone. reassembling my windshield today and broke the above bracket. It is the one with the post that the hood clamps to. I think with may have already been cracked as it broke with very little force applied. I understand that these are unique to the YT.

My question is, does anyone have one? I will attempt a repair or make a new one out of steel if I can't find one. I would love to hear other experiences with assembling windshields.

I did the windshield on my TD years ago and I don't remember it being as difficult as this one. Old age maybe?

As always, thanks for any help

Hi Joe

I do not think they are "unique" to MG Y as MOSS MOTORS shows identical part numbers for MG TC/TD and TF Windscreens. I am pretty sure you will be safe asking Moss to send you a part and if it is incorrect I would contact their Customer Service guy Kelvin Dodd and explain to him that you are sending back the part you bought WITH your broken sample and can he either match it and send you the correct part (and your broken bit) or just your broken bit back?

Kelvin is a good friend of the IMGYTR and will work with you I am sure if you tell him I sent you from the International MG Y Type Register.

Good to know that about K. Dodd, Paul - pardon my ignorance, but which Moss outlet is he at? "Y-friendly" desk people are few & far between.

Paul, thanks for your input. I compared the broken bits with my TD windshield and I don't see any difference. The YT windshield is a bit taller and the side pieces are longer, but the rest of the parts seem identical. I'll order from Moss today and see how I make out. Thanks.

Sounds good Joe.

I received parts from Moss today and I can confirm that the top windshield bracket from the YT is exactly the same as a TD one.

I had been told before in this forum that they were different. Just wanted to correct that misinformation.

Thanks Paul Barrow for directing me there.

Now to see if this windshield will go together.
