MG TD TF 1500 - once again - carb overflow pipes

I have seen pictures of the carbs with its overflow pipes at

http://www.ttalk.info/td_pipes.htm

It seems the pipes are open to air and both pipes end near the sump.

Other pictures show a direct connection between the carbs.

Are both solutions okay?

Later MGBs had the carb overflows connected together with a tee in the pipe running to the charcoal emissions canister. T series had no such system and the overflows are routed down and forward to the front engine plate, where they terminate down around the seam between the block and sump.

Thank you Jack

Does anyone have a moss part # for a mentioned special clamp at thee front?

Bela

Maybe and looks fine - I'd heard in the forum a clamp is needed to avoid clattering an disturbing of the two pipes

Moss has a list of over 800 clamps, I have not found this clamp among them. PJ

I' d found this 372-610 - out of stock in GB. If it will fit for 2 pipes?

That looks like a modified (with a small hammer) 'P' clip. These are readily available from many auto suppliers for post war cars. I get mine from Auto Electric Supplies (in the UK) but there must be equal suppliers in Germany

Bela, with the number you posted, 372-610 Moss USA is showing they have them in stock. PJ
