MG TD TF 1500 - Throttle Return Spring Bracket

Can anyone tell me the dimensions for the said bracket which goes under the starter motor bolt, mine is missing! Also does it have a bend?
A picture may be nice if you have a good close-up.
Thanks in advance.

Here's a picture I found online, is this for a TD? If so can anyone tell me the rough dimensions?

The replacement I got from LBCC (Moss Part) is:

3" long end to end

45 degree bend at 1 1/8" from wide end

11/16" wide at wide end

7/16" wide at narrow end

Can't say if this is the factory spec, just the Moss part dimensions. Hope this helps

CJ, would you care for one that could use some TLC? Someone undid the 45° bend. No cracks, could be easily reshaped. It's yours if you'll just send your mailing address to me at my email address above. Bud

Somebody was a wee bit heavy footed! ;)

L Karpman's dimensions are right on. I made mine from some 1/8" stock I had left over from a frame repair. See photos. I did a 90 deg bend.

Hey Bud thanks for the kind offer but as I'm in England it's probably not worth the effort compared to making one, especially as L Karpman has kindly measured one out for me.
Although it is interesting to note the position of the bracket in the two pictures. Rer Rosa's location looks a better position for the spring than the picture I found.
Thanks for the replies.
