MG TD TF 1500 - Floorboards- TD versus TF

Hi All.

Do the TD and TF floorboards have exactly the same dimensions ?
Of course the seating runner positions would be different however I want to know if all the other dimensions (perimeter etc) are he same ?

Cheers

Hi Rob:

Although I do not know what the differences are between bhe TD and the TF floorboards, Angloparts.com lists the floorboards as being different for the TD and the TF.

Brown & Gammons also has different listings for the TD and the TF.

Curiously, NTG lists their floorboards being applicable to both models.

I will endeavour to find out Rob.

Peter,

Thankyou for the follow up on my floorboards query.

The TSO (The Sacred Octagon)technical editor has reported that the only difference in the TD and TF floorboards is the mounting of the seats.

Have not been able to determine any other difference.
P Pichler

Other than the seat holes, there is no difference. I made these using a diagram from a TD, the fit in the TF was perfect. PJ

Compared an original RHD TD set and a RHD TF set and found the TF has a rebate underneath by the front hoop for the mount bolt head on both LH and RH, but not the TD, and also the shape around the hoop is different. Seat mounting T nuts also differ.

LH Drive is different in the pedal position on both.

TD has 5/16” BSF T nuts, TF has 1/4” BSF T nuts.

Rod,

I gather the shape of the TD floorboard around the hoop is minimal? Not sure of the difference there.

D. Sander, if you are referring to the TF seat bolting, (at the front hinge seat slide runners), they were 5/16" BSF originally.

As I'm sure you know Rob, the shape of the floorboard around the hoop is determined by the shape of the installed front quarter trim panel. The floor should be able to be removed without having to remove the trim. Whether this differs between the TD and TF I can't say. Some great shots of this area in CC's gallery. Cheers
