MG TD TF 1500 - headlamp support brackets

Is there a difference between the left and right headlamp support brackets? Moss shows them as two distinct parts; however, I can't see a difference in the ones I removed (and am ready to reinstall).

Hi Dave

While they look the same, there is a right and a left. It has to do with the angle from the fender to the bracket. Lightly bolt them to the fender but dont put them on the radiator bracket. You will see if you have them on the correct side. Should be able to move them down over the radiator bracket without any front or back movement.

Be very careful in that the wings break off with very little torque.

Just remembered. If you look at the hole in the bracket where the bolt goes for the radiator support one side will have a larger hole that the other. The large side goes towards the front of the car. That should help identify the right from the left easily.

Interesting, I must have two left sides. Anyone have a right that they would like to sell?

Dave - You might want to try Mick MMMGTCARS@ yahoo.com. We got an original pair from him a couple of years ago and they looked like NOS, not cheap but perfect. sara
