MG TD TF 1500 - Space TF Fender tie bar to rad

The original brackets that bolt to the fenders are long gone and I made new ones but am not sure if they are right. What is the space between the back face of the rad and the tie bar? As it is now the space is 3 inches.

You should be able to scale the location from one of the engine compartment photos in this file.

I have the assembly in a box in my shop if you need some measurements

Just measured mine. 3 inches from back surface of rad to front edge of tie bar.

My bar goes right centerline over the v-groove of the water pump pulley.

Looks like the 3 inches is correct but the bar interferes with the radiator stay bars. I an fairly certain that the brackets on the rad are correct. Once I am back in town I will attach a photo.

The attached might help. I made these a couple years ago and work well. It will give you the mounting holes to the fender/side wall as well as the dimension down to the mounting surface allowing clearance over the water pump.
