MG TD TF 1500 - TF Windscreen brackets

Can someone confirm; are the windscreen mounting brackets (to scuttle) the same on the TD as on the TF?

Tom, I can't confirm.....but remember reading that TF brackets had more 'rake' to them. Just don't know if that is accurate.

They are not the same Tom. They have a different casting number on the inside that will indicate which car they are for. I'd have to look up the numbers. I still have the entire windscreen assembly from the deer incident in my shop.

TF Stanchions are, X1749 & X1750. TD stanchions are X1516 & X1517. PJ

This shows the casting numbers for the TD stanchions. Jud

Thank you!
LaVerne, so insurance covered an entirely new windshield assembly? The item that smashed my glass and gouged my bonnet last week also put some nasty scratches in my R side support and the bottom frame piece.
Did you find new parts somewhere, or get a different set re-chromed? My appraiser came by yesterday to look at damage. I just hate to miss the summer driving season waiting for those chrome parts to spend 6 months at some chrome shop. (I've had bad experience with chrome shops).

Would you want to sell any of your old assembly? R support specifically?

Jud, I think I miss worded it. I think the numbers I gave are for the lower main cowl brackets, could be wrong though. PJ

The Abingdon Spares parts catalog lists all of the parts on the same page (41) with the OEM part numbers. looks as if all of the windscreen parts have different part numbers. I don't think they're interchangeable among TC/TD/TF. Bud

Bud, I was looking at AS website last night. They seem to stock many windscreen parts and list prices, but list for TC and TD. No TF listings. Seems to me that some of the frame parts, like the bottom section, would be common to all three.

Thanks. Tom

Tom, if you look a Moss' catalog you'll see a note that says,"We do not sell T-series windshield glass, as there is enough difference in the windshield frames from car to car to make it impossible to produce a universal kit." I wouldn't be surprised if all the models were a bit different from one another. Bud
Bud Krueger

They covered the whole assembly as there was a slight bend in the frame as well as the damage to the side supports. The right hand one I have is in pretty damn fine shape. Send me an email and we'll talk turkey if you're interested.
