I have looked through MG 8 (body many times) and front suspension MG 4 all for naught.
Surely somebody knows where it is?

There's no illustration for it, but look in 805-00...
...you'll see them listed (with a model remark of S4 or S6 depending upon year):
8A0 805 645 A "connecting pipe" (strut brace)
8A0 805 963 "plug" (for each end of the bar)
4A0 805 635 "retainer for connecting rod - left"
4A0 805 636 "retainer for connecting rod - right"
The only vehicles where I've seen the bar depicted in the diagram are 90 quattros for '93-'95 (FWDs 90s and Cabriolets don't show the bar either even though US spec cars came with'm -- although they are however listed in the 805-00 slide just like they are for S4/S6s).

Thank you. I figured it should be that illustration but figured it should show the parts. Missed
the details by "pagin" the illustrations, not going down the list of parts on the pertinent pages. Thanks very much.

If you're going to retrofit, I strongly recommend the later stress bar...
With the early ones (that have a big bolt and washer right in front of the jump post) your jumper cables will tend to short out on the washer and/or nut.
Later ones have the ends cut down and recessed cap screws- much mo' betta.
You can also modify the early bar to the late style. I've used band saws and cutoff wheels to duplicate the later style bars.
