         I'm sure we've been over this before, but is
         the Weber 32/36 DGV downdraft carb a worth
         while investment for a relatively stock MGB
         motor?  Will it make my B more reliable, or can
         I get decent reliability out of fresh SUs.  I'd
         appreciate hearing from anyone with Weber
         experience.  

         Also, I purchased Moss's MGBGT headliner kit. 
         I was slightly disappointed by its contents. 
         I thought the covers that go around the
         perimeter of the roof would be of the molded
         variety, like the originals (and like the
         catalog drawing shows) but they're not.  All
         the pieces are cut from fabric.  This is
         alright, except that I paid a lot of money for
         this stuff.  How expensive could headliner
         material be?  I'm tempted to send the kit
         back and just cut my own.  

         On the subject of headliners for BGTs (or
         coupes in general)...When I took the old
         headliner out, there were three layers of
         material: the headliner fabric, the foam
         backing, and some heavy fabric like material
         that was glued directly to the top of the car. 
         My question is what was the third layer, the
         heavy fabric material?  My guess is sound
         deadening material.  If this is the case, what
         should I replace it with?  Does it matter if I
         replace it?

         All input greatly appreciated.
