MG TD TF 1500 - TD gas tank mounting

I'd like to attach the gas tank angle 'blocks' that go between the rear tank board and the gas tank this weekend. My TD basket case did not come with the old rear tank board, so I need some measurements, please.

If someone would be so kind as to measure either where the angle blocks are located (to either the bolt locations or the edge of the mounting flange) I would be most appreciative. Alternatively, measurements from inside the 'boot' area to the holes would be great.

I take it that T-nuts were used on the inside of the tank board for attachment. Is that correct??

Finally, anybody know the size of the bolts used to mount the angle block to the tank board? 1/4" and 5/16" BSF are too large for the holes in the flange of the angle blocks. I know I should have tried 3/16" but I didn't have one on-hand at the time.

Many thanks,

If you don't get any help on this, email me. I have the original board that the supports bolt to but won't have time to dig it out and carefully measure the hole locations for a couple of weeks - sorry! wedding using wedding cars tonbridge in Philly, watching grand kids and installing a couple of new entry doors is a full time job for the next couple of weeks!

Cheers!
