Been a few years since I looked at mine, from memory it is a Ford part so you should be able to match the part no. I seem to remember it was fitted back to front too.

It also looks different because TVR have stretched it to within a millimeter of its endurance, although it comes square, they needed it to fit a rectangular hole. ...well, at least it does on mine.

Agree totally. I nearly took the new one back believing it to be wrong.
