Hey gang! So, was talking to Dad, and we realized that the folding soft top on the B was in dire need of replacing. The vinyl itself is coming apart, and the frame has been broken since we bought the car (wrestling the thing up or down is a two person job and usually takes ten minutes). In addition, the mounting plates just behind the door all have loose screws that won't tighten up. Our car is a '71, with the original folding frame (the vinyl was replaced at some point before Dad bought the car). From what I can tell, the removable "roadster" style soft tops from earlier MGBs (the packaway tent kind) should be pretty easy to fit to a later car-all the ragtop fittings, snaps and such, should be the same, and the removable frame itself should use the same brackets as the tonneau brace. Is this correct info? I'm stumped, and can't find a clear answer in any of my books.
By the by, the reason Dad thinks the removable packaway tent is a good solution is simply because his old '67 B had one, so he knows how to put one up or take one down in under a minute. Since the car's far from original to begin with (engine mods, repaint, interior, etc.), fiddling with the ragtop won't bother us.
Thanks!
