MG TD TF 1500 - rad,shroud , false nose

Want to mount the false nose but it seems something is missing at the back. There is 1 clip to hold the medallion but there is also a residue (old solder ) opposite the present clip. If somebody has a picture how the backside looks It would be a great help.
Thanks in advance,

For the last 40+ years at least my car has never had the top tab. I have not missed it. I am not even sure it ever had one but I just installed it last week.

I have to work on my grill in a few months to get the shell better aligned between the fenders and I will see if I can find any telltale signs of the top tab then.

In the mean time Bud can you measure it for me and maybe get a picture from the side too in case I need to make one?

Okay, Chris, for you I've taken it out of the bag. You can see the rear tab. Bud


Bud Krueger

Rear Tab - It's approximately 1/5 inch wide. The long leg is about 7/8 inch long. The short leg of the tab is about 1/4 inch long. Bud

Outside view of rear tab. Bud

Whoops - the rear tab is about 1/2 inch wide, not 1/5". Bud

Thanks. I guess I will need to fabricate one and solder it on when I redo the grill.

Somewhere I got the grill studs screwed up a bit (I think) and it has my radiator shell miss matched about 1/2" from side to side.
