MG TD TF 1500 - Need original T-nut for floorboard

Here goes a shot in the dark ...

Anybody wanna sell a T-nut for one of the bolts that attaches the seat rail to the floorboard in my TF? Heck, more than one would be even better. The base of the one that I need is 7/8" diameter. ("T-nut" is probably the wrong term, but I think that you know what I mean.)

I will cut new floorboards in a couple of weeks. One T-nut is missing. I hope that I can rescue the others by grinding off the nail heads. New bolts and washers from Moss p/n 323-828 "Screw and Washer Set, floorboards." We'll see how closely they match the originals.

Thanks for your help,

I got a full set of BSF T nuts from AS. Seat rails & the nuts for the foot rest. Cheers

Thanks Peter -

I checked Abingdon Spares' on-line catalog a few minutes ago and found the T-nuts. Still looking for an original T-nut.

I also need a full set of screws and washers. Mine are pretty bad.

I saw the individual screws and washers, and the full set of floorboard bolts and washers on the A/S site. Don't think that the set includes the T-nuts.

Wonder why the wide price difference for the floorboard bolt/washer set at Abingdon Spares vs. Moss. Quality? Correct screw head and tip? Correct washer shape and size?

I'll phone both to learn the difference.

I made mine out of 303 SS.
I might have a few old ones.
Perhaps one or two new SS ones.
(Shop made on right)

Did you get one?
I am quite sure I have one or two in my "big jar o' nuts". Email me if you still need it.
