MG MG Y Type - Unkown Bracket

In one of my parts boxes, I found this bracket. It has MOWOG on one side and BTB 396RH 10A on the other. My guess would be a right hand headlamp bracket for early (prewar maybe) MG. Any ideas? Marvin

Hi Marvin

It is indeed a headlamp bracket ... but not from a Y. It looks to me like TC/TD but I am not 100% on that.

I have been thinking about the bracket again, and rather than it being a headlamp bracket I am thinking it could actually be a steering arm bracket with having that bolt through the middle so I apologize for the wrong information earlier.

What it is from, is anyone's guess.

It looks to me like it is a RH steering arm for an MG Midget/Austin Healey Sprite.

If I could find my parts book I could confirm excatly which model, but it's certainly not from a Y-Type.

I have a 1969 Australian Built Midget - that's why it is familiar to me. The two mounting holes should be straight, while the hole at the end will be tapered for the tie rod end.

Hi Marvin,

The part number indicates it is an MGB right hand steering arm.

Brian.
