About 5 years ago,I started the restoration of my 70 B 
and I asked just about the same question. Someone on the 
list steered me to a small MG parts distributor called 
Brit-Tek (1-800-255 5883). I can't say enough about the 
service, their prices and the advice I got from them 
through out the rebuild process. They tracked down a 
leather interior kit for my 70 B and it didn't cost me 
an arm and a leg either.
