MG TD TF 1500 - Moss part number for backing plate

I'm trying to find the correct (Moss) part number to order nuts and bolts for MG TD 51 front hub brake backing plates. They take four. None of the diagrams on the moss site show it (or the backing plate). These bolts mount the backing plate onto the steering knuckles.
Help anyone? In the attached photo, I'm referring to the four bolts in the center.
Thanks!

Don't know about Moss, but at Abingdon Spares the Bolt/Nut pair is their Item # 27 036 Bolt & Nut $2.25. (you'll need 4 per side) Bud

If you need some, just let me know. I have some good used bolts.

Geoff, just out of curiosity I checked the Moss catalog. Oftentimes Moss and A/S will use the same images from AKD 834. Sure enough, look at Moss' page 25 (MGT-141). Part #17 is the Bolt, housing NA. Part #18 is Nut, nyloc, bearing housing bolt. These bolts have a rather unique head to clear the brake system. And, theu are secured by locking nuts. Mark's used bolts should be fine, but get new nylocs. Bud

The ones I have don't have nylocs, they all just use a split locking washer. I suppose the nylocs are better tho!

Geoff, the factory opted to employ locking nuts. I'd stick with them. The Service Parts List, AKD 834, describes the nuts as: Nut, 3/8" B.S.F/ (Phillidas). There was a fairly recent thread on Phillidas products. Bud
