[Mgs] Tops, hoods.

[Paul Hunt]

You really do need to see an example on your style of frame (the MGB for 
example has three, which need differently tailored tops), and I appreciate 
that can be difficult.  My roadster came to me with a 'bottom of the range 
although nearly new top', and after restoration I considered replacing it 
with something more upmarket.  However having seen the dreadful fit of some 
pricey tops from so-called reputable sources - the main problem being 
insufficient width across the car so there were gaping holes above the 
drop-glasses, I didn't bother.  20 years on I still have the same top, still 
in good condition fortunately, as I dread having to take the plunge myself 
when a new one is required.
