MG TD TF 1500 - TF side curtain box front piece bolts

The front piece of the TF side curtain box is upholstered, then bolted to the rear body tie bar with 4 2BA bolts (and capture nuts). Are the 4 bolts hex head or countersunk flathead (w/ finishing washers?)? thanks, Tyler

Hi Tyler,

As far as I know hex head, painted with a small paintbrush in the factory, by 'the lad' !

Matthew Magilton will know for certain !

Cheers,

Think I might have found out: look at The Original MG TF site, gallery, unrestored TF 6688, photo No. 50, lower left of photo (can't seem to paste the photo here).

It shows a 2BA countersunk, flat head, slotted bolt with a finishing washer holding on the front side curtain box piece. I assume this correct, right?

thanks,
Tyler

You are correct. It is a flat head screw with a cup washer -- not a flat washer.

Hi Tyler,

Frank is right - for some reason I had my mind fixed on the hinge bolts, for which my description is correct!

Sorry about that,

Cheers,
