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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>David Councill<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>64B<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>67 BGT<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>72B<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Mgs [mailto:mgs-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jack Wheeler via Mgs<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, May 25, 2015 9:05 AM<br><b>To:</b> mgs@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [Mgs] Help with some door panel questions<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432565025681_28319"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>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? <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432565025681_28558"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432565025681_28559"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>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?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432565025681_28599"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432565025681_28600"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>Thanks for any help you can give me.
