MG TD TF 1500 - Steering Support

I have two steering support brackets. I’ve been using the yellow one on my TC but I think the black one is the one I should be using. Could one of you TD owners check yours and let me know if the yellow one is for the TD?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Gene! Because it was you, I got up out of my recliner to look! My TD has the notches. George

From an early 50 TD. It does not have the notches but the side ears look similar to your bracket on the left in your photo. The second photo is from the 52 I once had. The mounting side ears again look the same as the one on the left.

The only image of it on the TC I once worked on isn't particularly useful.

Thanks George!
You too, LaVerne!

Think I’ll keep the yellow one in the car…after all, it is painted 😀

20 years after being wrecked I’m finally getting it ready to go back on the road…a hell of a lot harder in my 80’s than it was in my 60’s. Hopefully see y’all at a GOF somewhere next year!

Looking great. But please paint the yellow fan black!
Christopher Couper

Sorry Chris I’m going to disagree. First the fan isn’t original anyway so painting it black for originality sake is pointless IMHO Painting the plastic fan will alter the plastics chemical make up and can make the part brittle depending on the paints chemical makeup. Also the paint will crack and peel overtime as the fan flex’s. Also, the contrasting yellow will remind one to keep their mitts out of the way when it’s turning.

Thanks WM...I wasn't going to comment about the fan but that is my thinking also...while I've never lost a finger to a black fan I've definitely come close a few times 8^)

Us black fan boys are a shrinking breed. :-(

My black fan hangs on the wall with all the other parts I'll probably never use but will never toss out.
