MG TD TF 1500 - Photo of running board to rear fender

On my 53 TD there is noting but a bold holding the rear of the running board to the rear fender on one side. On the other side there is what looks like a round rubber grommet/spacer between the running board and rear fender. Is that correct? Is there just the grommet or is there an additional rubber strip> I ask this because the image on the Abingdon Spares web site is not very clear and it looks like there may be both a grommet and a strip.

Thanks

I had the same question when putting my running boards on. There is just the single bolt and a round rubber washer/grommet.

Tim is correct.

You can buy the Moss part number 281-258 which is nice and OK.
It also fits between the rear fender and the chassis bracket.Buy four pieces.

laurent, it appears there are no parts at Moss with part number 281-258. Would that be Moss Europe?

Thanks

Thanks very much, I wanted to be sure before purchasing the wrong part.

Sorry, the part does exist. When I ran just the part number search it returned with no such product. But when I looked at the body fitting diagram for the TD it did show 281-258. that is the correct part. Sorry for the confusion.

This is my 53 TD
You do want a nice gap here to stop crud collecting and causing rust.
