Steve built a PA body for me in 2000/01, including the item you mention as
well as all associated panels, and I have been delighted with the result.

Good luck!

> Hi All.  I tried this message over on the MG Enthusiasts site to no avail
so I am trying it here in the hopes of reaching someone who can answer my
question.

> Does anybody in UK make the metal panel which fits on the sloping front
body bulkhead under the dash on a J2. This is the part with arched cutout
for the occupants legs etc. and which has the rain gutter around the arch.
Has it got a name? Failing that how difficult is it to make it out of mild
steel, or would Aluminium be better? Does this piece fit under or over the
side skinning and scuttle? On a related note, I have got the offset "T"
shaped channel which forms the rear bonnet rest but it is formed from right
angled channel. Should the centre leg of the "T" not be at an angle to the
cross piece to allow for the angle of the front frame or does it need
bending to suit. Any advice to get another J Type on the road would be
welcomed.
