MG TD TF 1500 - handcrank clip position

Does anyone have a good original photo of the location for the TD handcrank clip position on the seatback? I found what I thought was an origianl pict on VL Pina's site, but the seatback vinyl looks new and shiny, so I think it has been removed. Measurements would be fine also. Thanks, George

GEORGE,
I HAVE AN ORIGIONAL COPY OF "OPERATION MANUAL midget SERIES 'TD'". ONE WAS SUPPLIED WITH EVERY VEHICLE. PAGE 15 SHOWS A DREWING OF THE "STARTING HANDLE LOCATED IN SPRING CLIPS ONT THE BACK OF THE SEAT" I COULD TRY TO DESCRIBE THE POSITIONING OR, IF YOU SEND ME YOUR ADDRESS, I'LL TRY TO MAKE A COPY OF THE DREWING AND MAIL IT TO YOU.

George, not sure what Dave D. would have sent you, but I have the original seat back from my car, and the clip locations are clearly seen. If you need the measurements I can make them (after the game) I transfered those locations very accurately to my new seat back, and although the hand crank shown is a shorter TC crank, the clips are in the right place and look correct when the larger hand crank is in place. Attached is an image.

warmly,
dave

Thanks everyone, I never thought to look in the owner's manual- I have a copy. George
