MG TD TF 1500 - Fastener change on firewall

I noted there is a difference in the fasteners on the bottom of the firewall between early and later TD's.

TD 4139 (Nov 1, 1950) has a fastener nut that looks similar to a Philidas nut. The later TD has a cage nut.

Who has a later TD that has the one like mine?






Bruce Cunha

As a small point of reference:

TD4618 has your type
TD11272 has the caged type of later cars

Bruce,

TD- 4834 Philades 5/16 BSF
TD/c-8151 caged “
TD/c-16920 caged “
TD-19408 caged “
TD 24060 caged “

Bill Chasser
TD-4834
W A Chasser

So between TD 4618 and 8151 So probably between November 1950 and June/July of 1951 they changed it.

I updated the production changes with Bills info and will make changes as earlier ones trickle in.
