MG TD, with 3 free-standing metal top bows
254-100 LH Front, 254-300 LH Rear Side Curtain Frames
Reference JPG 254-100 and 254-300 TD 3 Bow_30











Lay the side curtain frames on the ground as shown.
Things to look for
The upper rear corner of the front frame is a gently rounded, not quite 90 degree angle (3B)
The front side curtain frames for the TD with 3 bow top frame and the TF are very, very similar in
dimension. It is this corner (3B) that distinguishes them, because the equivalent corner on the TF frame is
almost 90 degrees. Please look at 4B on the next page and compare that corner to 3B above.
The upper front corner of the rear frame is almost a 90 degree angle (3C)
The upper rear corner of the rear frame is smoothly rounded, not angular (3D)
The TD 3 bow top s/c frames are the only ones with these 3 rounded corners.
The dropped section of the rear s/c frame comes to a sharp point (3E)

To confirm the identity of the front frames:
On the front s/c frame, identify the upper horizontal piece. (3A)
Lay a tape measure along the inside edge of the upper horizontal piece.
Measure the length of the steel piece from outside to outside edge.
It’ should be 22 5/16 inches long. (about 19 3/4 inches would be TC, and over 22 is a TF)
Note: the distance between the top and bottom frame pieces (3K) is 10 3/4 inches.
This same dimension on the corresponding side curtain frame for the 2 bow top is 9 1/2 inches.
To confirm the identity of the rear frames:
On the rear s/c frame, identify the lower horizontal piece. (3F)
Lay a tape measure along the inside edge of the lower horizontal piece.
Measure the length of the steel piece from outside to outside edge.
It’ should be 18 1/4 inches long. (about 20 inches would be TC, and less than 17 is a TF)

The length of the dropped point (3H) is 7 3/16 from the bottom of the lower horizontal bar (3F) to the end
of the point.
