Hello folks,
This sounds like a dumb question as I have had MGBs for ages......but =
what is the correct way of fixing the door panels to the door? =
Currently mine are held on by the window winder, door latch thingy, the =
recently installed loud speaker and nothing at the bottom. It should be =
the little screws and caps like other interior panels yes? If you can =
I would appreciate photos. =20
By the bye, I have just spent an hour getting the panel back on because =
I could not get the speaker holding screws in line with the metal strap =
with 'holder clips' they put in to hold the speaker. Total fiddle and =
blind manouvers!!!!!! But now the speaker fasteners are in and they =
hold the panel. Whew!!!
Cheers
