MG TD TF 1500 - engine stabilizer bracket

I have a simple question. Is the engine stabilizer bracket at right angles to the face where the link attaches? Attached is a photo of mine. Notice the bend at the arrows. I can't seem to find a photo that isn't taken from an angle to be sure. I found one on Dave Braun's page that appears to be at a right angle, but I wanted to ask to be sure.

Thanks for everyone's help,

Jim

Mine has bends in just about the same area.

Do you have a 5 speed conversion ?. Some move the engine forward and the bracket is bent to accommodate it.

Not a good pic, but my bracket is perfectly straight. PJ

Thanks for the comments. I have one answer with a bend, one straight...and no, my TD does not have a 5-speed. Can anyone break the tie?
Thanks,

The engine control bracket on my TF is straight. Original XPEG and gearbox.

I got it...Thanks so much. I thought it was supposed to be straight. After looking at some archived posts, I checked closely for cracks, and it looks good. Let's see if I can straighten it without breaking anything.

Thanks again

LaVern. Could be the picture, but the second Image looks like is has a bend

Ya it looks funny in the photo, but all of the ones I have dealt with were straight.
