Technically they are called Clevis forks. Similar items were used on T-series cars, but neither of the US MG parts companies seem to list them. However with a little ingenuity you can possibly modify a commercially available Clevis fork from a company like McMaster Carr.

On second thought, they are the clevis fork, but the clevis. The fork goes on the ends of the stay rods.

thanks Everyone, also found them called Swing Bolts and tab bolts, seem to be common in stainless but not chrome, a couple of folks reached out and are checking to see if they have a spare pair, thanks Justin |

Justin,
Here are some pictures of what I believe you are looking for. Are you looking for the piece that threads onto each end of the radiator stay rods, four in total?
If you don't have any success in getting these, I believe I made these (it's been quite a few years ago) and had them zinc plated so I should have a sketch if you need one.
John
