I have a '70 B. (Oct '69) I also have a non-removable frame top. (Well you can remove it, but it takes tools.) I was told the frame is off of a later car as mine should have had a stow away top. Not

If your B has the top frame that collapses in on itself right behind the header rail(called a "scissors" top frame by some), ditch it and get one of the later frames that folds straight back. They go

Yes, the stow-a-way and the folding top are different 'cuts'. Check with Prestige Auto Trim before you purchase a top. And don't forget Moss Motors. Larry Hoy /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/

Hmmm. Thought mine was the "scissors" top from your description, but I looked at the Mos site: <http://www.mossmotors.com/cgi-bin/db2www/mossmotors/MossUSA/Shop/ViewPr oducts.mac/report?T=75149&Model

What color is your top frame? Normally the "scissors" frame is a gray frame (unless someone painted it). That frame is fine and you can also get a zip down rear window top for that frame - Not sure

I have had both vinyl and canvass tops on my MGA(s) over the years. My first was a black vinyl top from J.C Whitney in the late 60's. It was surprisingly easy to install in about two hours with all f

There was an early folding hood available as an option in place of the packaway right from the beginning, both being replaced by the improved Michelotti folding in Aug 70. Having the bottom-of-the-li

OK, #33 is the one you (and I) want. See, it folds straight back. the frame folds inwards right behind the header rail and then the rest of it fold straight back. Someone must have changed yours out,

I don't know why they said this. Until August 1970 you had your choice of folding or stowaway tops (Clausager p.53). -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you're near Mountain View, CA, it's the primer r

I have dealt with Caribou canvas, both as a buyer for our 51 TD and installing one for a friend on a 59 A. Stay away from them, in both cases the cheap price got a cheap product, with no customer sup

Max, did you look at the Moss part to confirm this? Another lister confirmed that I do have the newer style based on the Moss part as I was told at a local brit shop who glanced at it about 5 years a

No, I did not. So if you think you have the newer one based on actual observation, you are probably right. I was just pointing out what was original equipment. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GHN3L76149 If you'r
