Joe-
All recoil units are about the same size, they all have to contain a spring &
spool, & about the same length of belt, the difference is that in a more modern
car when appearance is more important, the reels are hidden, usually at the base
of the door post.
There just isn't any place to hide the reel in a MGB. Moss, BV & others are now
selling a nice replacement belt that is adjustable in 2 planes to eliminate the
irritating lock up that the OE belts are subject to. Shop for these, as the
price
varies quite a bit.
