MGB interchangeable parts between MGB and Midget?

[MickeyMouseMG]

I found a 1974 midget and was wondering if there are any interchangeable parts between a 1974 MGB roadster and a 1974 Midget? Specifically, are the convertible tops interchangable?
Thanks

About the only things I can think of that would swap between the two are the tail lights, headlights, a couple of the switches, and maybe a gauge or two. Trying to put a 'B' top on a Midget would be like putting a circus tent over a foxhole.
Sorry!

I have a 74 Midget. Some MGB parts are stocked by a local shop, but they do not stock Midget parts. I keep both the Midget and the MGB Victoria British catalogs on hand, then check the parts number in the MGB catalog if they look the same. Occasionally I can go buy the MGB part for the Midget. Bulbs and light covers have been the easy swtiches so far. cheers:

what about the stering wheel and seats and you could get some 13inch rostyles if you wish

adam.....nope, nope, & nope

How about the Carb, fuel tank and pump?
Can they be interchanged?

 

[Baxter]

Nope, nope, and not sure, maybe.

 

[adam90009]

how about the horn? or maybe the trunk latch?

 

[Bugeye58]

The fuel pump and trunk latch don't cross, either.
C'mon, just because they were made by the same company doesn't mean squat. Would you try to buy an Impala as a parts car for your Chevette?

HeHe. I come from the honda world where you can swap full head assemblys, trannys, pistons, cranks, exhausts, **** near anything. Thought it was worth a shot

So if anyone is interested, there is a '74 midget at a pick-n-pull in San Jose.

Ditch the 'B' and get the Midget!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd come out and grab it, but I have too many of the things as it is!

Side marker lamps are the same, plinths are not.
