MG TD TF 1500 - What is it?

While crawling around under my '51 TD trying to locate an annoying rattle (it was a missing shock bushing) I noticed this bracket attached to the transmission. What is it for? Is something missing?

I use that as a bracket to hold the exhaust pipe on the trans.

Exhaust hanger bracket. 1 clip plus a spacer.

Without the pipe being attached to that bracket, a lot of the weight and all of the twisting/torqueing of the exhaust system is placed on the manifold and studs. Definitely fix that. George

Here is a picture of it on my TD.
Its cropped from a much large picture.

Perhaps it will help.

There is a very clear illustration of this on Page 38 of the Driver's Handbook. The copy I have is the 6th edition, AKD 618 E. Cheers
