MG TB Running Board Mounting

[Peter Debruyn]

Dear Group -

Question about mounting hardware, running board to tub for TB (and probably TA). Bolts, as on TC, or wood screws? Appreciate any information - thanks.

Hi could I jump on the back of this question and ask if the TB had the 90 degree fold on the running board next to the body trapping in the seal ? I am restoring the sheet metal work on a TB and it only has a shallow crease next to the body, thanks graham  Sent from my iPhone

Hi Peter and Graham, On my car TB0489 the running boards are fixed to the body with bolts which pass through the underside brackets (3 I think without checking)on the running boards and through the horizontal timber frame and metal subframe. Your subframe should already be drilled to suit. Not sure about bolt diameter - can check tomorrow if you want. As far as I am aware TC is the same.  The finishing trim is trapped in place by the above arrangement on my car.  I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information.  Regards  Jeff TA1957.

They are 1/4" BSF bolts, although 6mm would do as BSF is getting hard to find! Roger
