MG TD TF 1500 - What are thes

Hi All,
Can anybody comment on these brackets please.
My car was in boxes when I bought it and is now nearing completion.
When I came upon these brackets I put them aside hoping that in the rebuild they would find a home, but no such luck.
I do not know what to do with them or if they even belong to a TD

Many thanks

TF front license plate brackets, I think.

Tom is correct.

Also used on UK TD's. Maybe SA had the same requirement.

Thank all but where do they fit I seen no holes for them
R J Orchard

Should be holes on bottom of front bumper.
Maybe repro bumpers don't have them?

These front license plate brackets fit either the TD or the TF. As David said, maybe your bumper is a repro without the holes. In my photo, you can see the heads of the fasteners between the bumper face and the brackets mounted on the rear side.

I'm glad to learn that these brackets also came on UK TDs. I know they can be made to fit by drilling the TD bumper, but I don't remember that they came on US TDs. Am I wrong?

Thanks.

Tom. They came on US TD's too but were often thrown away because you need the UK license plate to fit the width. You would then need to mount the US plate on top of the UK plate. That's what I have done on my car.
