Steve - pick of your stowaway MGB top handy?

Post by tdskip »

Putting 3-point retractable belts in the MGB and the OEM top will foul the belts and I don't think I've ever seen a foldaway one.

Thanks

What do you want to see exactly? The top attaches to the rear bulkhead exactly as all others do. The only real difference is the instead of the big triangular plate with three screws on each side of the passenger compartment, the frame slides down into the tonneau bar tabs.

I can get a photo but it will take me a couple days because the car is inaccessible at the moment!

Hey Tom,
I have a stow away top frame, if you want to try it for size.

Call me, Tom. I'll only be available on Sunday morning. Saturday is the Old Country drive, so I won't be here, and we're going somewhere on Sunday afternoon. My phone number is 626 309 2923.
