Really you need the later version of the Leyland Workshop Manual or =
Bentley, although I would have expected the Bentley to cover your 71 if =
it goes up to 74. The electrical system is probably the thing that =
varies the most from year to year, and you can get those online from =
http://www.advanceautowire.com/mgb.pdf. The only place I have seen any =
information about the quick-release shoulder belts that attach to the =
tonneau panel is in the appropriate drivers handbook, but that is =
minimal, only covering fastening and unfastening. =20
To replace the seals you need to remove the glass. Remove the bolts =
securing the regulator to the inner door panel, then you can manoeuvre =
the rollers out of the channel at the bottom of the glass, and lift the =
glass out. The regulator is removed by folding it up then it can come =
out of the large aperture. Easily said, quite easily done. But =
remember how you did it, when I went to refit mine some months later it =
took me ages to work out how to reverse the process! There are loads on =
eBay, in the UK at least.
I think it's true to say that the body and fittings are probably the =
least well covered, it's a case of looking and feeling around, =
cogitating, and trial and error. When I got my first MGB 26 years ago =
and stripped it there was very little if any internet support, just the =
manuals.
