MG TD TF 1500 - TD toe board needed

Is there a vendor that supplies reproduction toe boards? I don’t have a straight one and before I go to the trouble of having dies made to make the stamping for the D nuts and by a sheetmetal brake I’d like to try and find a source.

Or does anyone have a undamaged toe board in their spares they’d be willing to sell?

Bruce,

Kilamrtins Automotive Sheet Metal in Delacombe, Victoria,Australia
do excellent TF toe boards and I suspect they would do TD toe boards
as well. Very accurate and well manufactured with correct D nuts etc.

Bill,

I just re checked the Kilmartins Catalogue of parts on the internet and found
that they surprisingly have not got a toe board listed for the TD.

I have a passenger foot rest from Kilmartins but the toe board is a slightly more complicated beast with its swaged in nuts and 'D' nuts. It's the last bit of metal work that I have to complete. It's nearly finished, I just have to fit the swaged and D nuts. The challenge is to get them in the right place. Cheers

Rob. Thank you for checking Kilmartins

George. I missed the Abingdon Spares piece. I’ll look at it further thank you.

Bill,

When fitting up the toe board to the inside bulkhead flange, check that the two(2) small holes in the flange will line up exactly with the corresponding
two(2) diameter holes on the upper flange of the toe board.

Through these holes fit the two(2) 'lift the dot' threaded studs which will
hold the 'kidney shaped' Karvel carpet piece positioned above the gearbox
cowling.

Many restored cars have these two(2) items missing.

Cheers
