MG TD TF 1500 - TD wheel arch

Where and how is the wheel arch trim tacking strip fitted. I am working on a new tub with no reference. Does anybody have photos?.
On the home run now and should not have to bother the members for much longer. I never realised how many differences between the TF and TD. Simple things like fit the bonnet lock catches and buffers BEFORE you fit the wings.

I picked up on that early and it saved me from pulling the car apart for the umpteenth time! I've had this car apart and back together so many times, I thought I might be wearing the bolts out! Done a few cars in my day, but one TF is enough. Grin. PJ

Ray Here are pictures of mine prior to removing them.

I will be replacing the wood when I put it back.

There should be three horizontal holes that three split rivets go in on the fender well to secure the strip.

Thanks Bruce, that is exactly what I needed. The new tub is short of holes and in some places some are not quite where they should be.

Ray, you can fit the TF rear catches after the wings are installed - but not the front! Ask me how I know!

Havng had the TF for 46 years I have found all the things I can put on in thr wrong order or wrong way round. The TD I am helping to get back on the road after 40+ years is a whole new learning curve.
We are now going to have to pause until we are advised when it is safe to mix with other people. I am 80 and fit but not taking any chances.
