[Mgs] Door panel fasteners

[Robert's New iPad]

    Probably not the best idea to use magnets in any application where they might possibly fall off and be ingested by a curious critter.  I know of two dogs who have slurped up a couple of them and had their plumbing stuck together, requiring surgery.

>>>     As the sound of panel removal was usually punctuated by the ‘crack’ of these things snapping off, many doors are now in service with no push-fasteners. They were pretty much generic items; if that’s what held your door panels on, you should be able to find them in bags at any parts store.

>>> 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!!!
