On the second question, I would be curious as to how 226-675 looks and =
fits when you get them. I have never seen this piece as the door panel =
clips go right in the holes in the door (at least on 2 cars I have =
owned). Moss shows them for 1970-1980 which is probably true. My older =
MGs (67 BGT, 64B) use screws rather than clips.

=20

The first question, I am not positive on. I have done it several times =
and did replace the panels on my 72B about ten years ago (but I plan on =
opening the doors back up for lock maintenance this next winter). They =
just separate as far as removal but its related to how they overlap/clip =
on the sides. On assembly, I think I started each one (top and bottom) =
partway and then edged them together. =20

Subject: [Mgs] Help with some door panel questions

=20

I am replacing the door panels on my 1971 MGB, and have a couple of =
questions.  First, what is the secret for getting the plastic trim =
pieces that go around the inner door handle out, then back in?  When I =
took the old panel off, I had to break the masonite panel, in order to =
get the panel off, then the black plastic trim pieces around the door =
handle fell off.  However, with the new panel in place, I'm not sure I =
can figure out how to get these pieces back in.  Any hints?=20

=20

Second question.  I ordered new door panel mounting clips from Moss.  =
Part number 226-670 is a black plastic part that clips into the door =
panel, then pushes into the holes in the door.  I also ordered part =
number 226-675.  These are clear plastic, and appear to be something you =
would push into the holes in the doors.  Then the part number 226-670 =
would push into them.  My car did not have any of these on it (226-675). =
 It simply used the 226-670, and pushed them directly into the holes.  =
I'm wondering if the 226-675 pieces were used on an earlier model?  =
Should I be using these on my car?

=20

Thanks for any help you can give me.  This has been a great group I have =
joined, and I really appreciate the help you have given me.  I will try =
to return the favor sometime.
