Monte,
If its the factory hard top, there are at least three sources for parts.
The only one that I have seen pictures from is Victoria British although
I would never order from them unless I absolutely had to. Their MGB catalog
has a half page with a picture and limited parts for the factory hard top.
They may have something online.
For my hard top, I got all the mouldings from Martin MacGregor -
http://www.macgregorukcarparts.com. He lists parts but had no pictures so I
had to ask about some of the parts before I ordered them to make sure they
were right. I get al my rubber mouldings from him because the quality and
fit are excellent.
A third place in Brown and Gammons. They are in the UK and have a great
selection of parts. I am missing a rear bracket for the rear quarter window
assembly and may have to order the whole assembly as a result, plastic
window and all. My plastic windows are not in that good of a shape anyway
but B & G sells the whole assembly for about what Victoria British wants
for just the plastic window and that is with the current high exchange rate.
But in short, if you have a factory hardtop, parts are no problem. Use the
VB catalog to identify the part(s) if you need to.
