MG TD TF 1500 - Capture Nut Bracket

Does anyone produce the capture bracket for the nuts on the T series?

Which nuts?

For the front apron. 1/15-22 BSF

I couldn't be bothered trying to find them. I needed some for the firewall & the rear guards as they were long gone on my car. So I checked my stash of pics & then just shaped some sheet steel around a home made square nut of the appropriate size (5/16 BSF) cut from flat bar & welded the cages in place. Mort, not sure what you mean by 1/15-22? Pretty sure the front apron is also 5/16 BSF. Cheers.

I'm fairly sure that our good friend Dave Braun has a series of pics on how he made them on his site. I don't recall what topic he had it listed under, however.

I just checked Dave Braun's site. He has the caged nut series listed under Tub and Wings. Thanks yet again Dave!

Mort,

Mini suppliers sell the captive nut holders, there are some on ebay at the moment. 170853699450

Not a problem. Just because we used an end mill and a form for bending the cages, doesn't mean you couldn't make a few by hand. Same with the square captive nuts, which were for all practical purposes made by hand.

Warmly,
