MG TD TF 1500 - Rear suspension

What other cars have the same rear suspension bushings as the TD?. I know the front will take MGB,and the rear upper and lower spring pad can be used from the spriget, but what about the rear bushings.

I want to do poly on these. Moss has some poly, but not ones I prefer.

Spring pads are same as Spridget, certainly for the TF, I believe TD is the same.

Abingdon also has 19-093A for rear end of springs, don't see any for front end of the leaf spring.

Good luck with your search.

The TD will take the same shackle bushes as the midget I think Bruce as thats what went on this 50 based on the package I was given but you might want to call Moss and confirm that.

The TD rear shackle poly bushes I am making are turning out quite nice. You need to check the dimensions of the Moss Midget bushes. I am not convinced they are suitable for the TD as they look too short. I used the dimensions given on here and cross checked the dimensions with bushes from a different supplier.

Photo of the bush. I have been experimenting with the shore grade. When I am finished testing they will be done in black or indian red. They take about a week to fully cure. The one in the photo cured @ 75° shore.

Thanks Robert. I dropped John an email.

Declan. Any estimate on when you will have a black ones available?

Bruce,
I am making a mould so I can cast all 8 shackle bushes at once as opposed to the single mould I have at the moment. I would think I will have it finished in about two weeks. It is too cold here to be doing anything else at the moment.

Robert. Do you have a shop name for them? The email bounced.
Bruce Cunha

Bruce,

The address looks good to me. I also had an email to John James bounce as undeliverable but when I tried again the next day it worked. I have no explanation.

I got the same parts as Robert and was very happy with them.

I found out John James has a new email. That was why it was bouncing. Here is his new one. jj@ttypes.org

I sent him the list of the suspension parts. Thanks for the lead on these.
Bruce Cunha

Thanks Bruce. Address book corrected.
