[Mgs] Door panel fasteners

[D Councill]

It depends on the panels – the 70s MGs used the plastic clips and the door panels should have a place to insert the circular part of the clip. The clips are Moss item 226-670:

The 62-67 Mk1 MGs used the screws and caps. Granted the clips are not visible on the exterior of the panel when used, I like the screw design better as it makes it easier to remove the panels when needed. The clips may break during removal so I keep spares on hand for my 72B

Hello folks,

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 window winder, door latch thingy, the recently installed 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.   

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 manouvers!!!!!!   But now the speaker fasteners are in and they hold the panel.   Whew!!!

Cheers
