I have just purchased a 1953 MG td. It came complete but in many pieces, I have been looking over the parts and am curious to know why some one has welded a piece of flat about 3/4 inch x 20 gauge to the rolled edge of the rear mudguard arch. Is it an upgrade ?, is it because the guards tend to flap a little? It wont be too difficult to remove, and I am wondering is there a mod for this area? Any Ideas? Saltiga
