MG TD TF 1500 - Windshield frames with the studs

Would anyone happen to have for sale a used good pair of TD/TF windshield mounting posts?
These are the cast brass posts with the two pivot studs mounted to the side of the windshield frame, allowing the windshield to rotate.

My originals have unusable threads on the studs. I have replacement studs but in the last 10 days, I have not been able to find any machine shop that will take on this work.

Everyone on this BBS has warned me about attempting to do this myself.

Sure would appreciate anyone having a pair for sale.

TD and TF brackets are NOT interchangeable.

NGT have a pair, according to their website.

My apologies I was thinking of the cowl brackets. According to Moss Europe catalogue the TD/TF uprights are interchangeable (at least they carry the same part number)

Thank you Ray and Dave.

I do believe that the side mounted to the windshield frame pillars are interchangeable between the TD and TF. Multiple sources have these items listed as he same for both TD and TF.

Dave, I looked on the NTG website (mgbits.com) but these items are listed as no stock at the moment.

If your own is scrap as it is, what have you got to lose attempting to repair?
I did mine with a basic pillar drill with a tilting table and clamping a drill guide onto the face.(if only we had had digital cameras then!)

Peter, just to be sure we're all talking about the same part, are these the windshield mounting posts that you are asking about?

Here's the back side showing the casting numbers. These are for a TD. I'm told that they will not work on a TF but I don't personally know that.
