                This sounds like a dumb question as I have had MGBs for
                ages......but what is the correct way of fixing the door
                panels to the door?   Currently mine are held on by the

                loud speaker and nothing at the bottom. It should be the
                little screws and caps like other interior panels yes?  
                If you can I would appreciate photos.   <br>
                <br>
                By the bye, I have just spent an hour getting the panel
                back on because I could not get the speaker holding
                screws in line with the metal strap with 'holder clips'
                they put in to hold the speaker.  Total fiddle and blind
