MG TD TF 1500 - inserts

I am trying to determine where these inserts are to be installed . They differ considerable from the inserts for door curtains . They are threaded on the inside and a larger hex flange compared to the ones used for door curtains . John

These look like they may be TC engine mount nuts. They should not be shiny though.

Maybe those are fancy bolts to secure the tappet cover on the left side of our XPAG engines. They look like a much better choice than the original three soft metal special bolts that strip the threads so easily.

Bingo Mr Sanders . They are in fact T.C. engine mount nut inserts . Thank-you to you and others for there assistance. John

I thought so. They were so shiney, that threw me off. If you ever get a chance to see a TC engine mount bolt, you won't be disappointed. It is a real treat. It is long, tapered in three places and threaded in two. There is a flat jam nut that goes against these nuts.

Hello Dave About six months past I had two of the engine mount bolts which I sold not realizing that the nuts were most probably part of the set . Indeed they were interesting to examine the details. As I do not have a T.C. I will now have to find a buyer for these nuts. John
