Peter (and list)...
I am currently finishing the interior of a 74 TR6 project (for fun and to
support my own habit).
I have just replaced the very same plinth - obtained from Moss through
Classic Motor Works here in Winnipeg. It too has no little bracket as per
the original.
I suspect the bracket is extra reinforcement against the pulling action of
the choke cable. Why the new ones are deficient I do not know. Not only
that, but there were no holes carved in the stuffing and vinyl. Boy are
Dremmel tools handy!!
One thought I had was to move the choke cable one over so that it is closer
to the attachment point (small screws) and thus less resistent to mevement
/ bending.
Anyway, they sound the same - I think mine cost more. Feel "OK" about it.

BTW, on the subject of panels... I have been impressed by the appearance
quality of all the Moss supplied parts - most marked Made in UK (much like
the ones TRF supplied for my original TR6). However, I also notice things
like trunk kits, gearbox covers, and other parts need trimming / cutting /
and/or general custom fitting to get things really right.
