Radiator lower air duct panel for 74.5 B

[Monark192]

Are these available from anywhere? Are they even necesary? If so, any alternatives?? Thanks

475-245 from moss or ebay or tony may have one.

I still have the original cardboard one one mine and it does a very nice job of directing the air over the oil cooler then up into the radiator.

Moss shows that part as NA and ebay searches have turned up nothing. Tony??

There are 2 cardboard panels up under there...1 - #459-195 - is the mud shield & is definitely needed on later cars where the radiator is in the forward position ('77-'80)...its available new; the other #475-255 - is the one you're talking about - its not available new...all it really does is protect the bottom of the radiator a little & duct air coming in through the hole in the front valance....were I to guess, I'd guess that 95% of MG's on the road today don't have one (my '74-1/2 GT is the only car I own with one! & its supposed to be on al MG's from '62 until '76)

If you find a used one in a salvage yard or auto jumble - buy it!

But don't worry about not having it.
