Dennis,
I just finished installing a top on my '71. I couldn't have done it without
the step by step instructions in Lindsey Porter's, MGB: Purchase and
restoration guide. It's a Haynes publication, ISBN 0 85429 664 6. I found
that it's not as tricky as the directions would have you believe, but it's
definitely a two person job. The worst part was getting the old glue off.
Mineral spirits will help.
Two things I learned. Porter doesn't specify what kind of glue or what size
pop rivets. I used Pernatex Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive which worked
very well. For mine the right size pop rivets is 5/32" (4mm) by 1/2" (12mm).
They're probably the same on yours.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
Peter (B) Morris
