MG TD TF 1500 - TF accelerator spring and bracket

Can anyone tell me the length of the accelerator spring and bracket, the bracket coming from the top starter motor bolt.
None on mine so will need to make one


Thanks

Moss sells them both - MUCH easier...

BRACKET, throttle spring (on starter)
329-310 $11.95
SPRING, throttle return

Not for me Tom, $11.95 + 9.45 postage + 10 -15 days.

Bracket is 3" long and tapered (as best as I can tell by reaching a ruler down there). Should not be too hard to adapt a spring.

Thanks mate can make that no worries now I know the length or there about, spring not a problem.

This is how the carby springs were installed on my TF

Definitely a home-made job, and putting as lot of unnecessary strain (and wear) on the throttle shafts! That's another reason why it is important to have the correct spring, in both diameter and length.

Hi Tom,
I have made the bracket ready for attachment to the top starter bolt, would you by chance have the size of the spring handy.
