Traduire en Francais.Mercie 😊

Miata owner feeling mighty smug right about now ;)

i have owned the same 68 MGB MKII for 45 years most aggravating hood ever takes 2 men and a boy to take down

Great video. My MGB days were over by 1984, but the car is still around in my father's barn. I had totally forgotten about the first three snaps by now. One thing I will tell people is my 1969 car came with an erector set top assembly rather than a folding top, and I simply went to a wrecking yard and got the folding top mechanism from another car and thought I would put it on. It worked, but what I found was I had to retain the metal part from the 1969 top that snaps into the top of the windshield (the one with the two latches) and screw that to the folding frame. Everything fit together easily with no modifications, but I did have to use one part from the older car top and one from the newer to make it work and fit properly.

How to put down your MGB hood safely. Would be better, it avoid splitting an infinitive.

How do you install the half tanto

Absolute dream of a video this mate so explanatory love it

If the roof frame is rubbing on the side of the passenger side seat, what's the most likely cause of that?

Nicely done - thanks!

Great video

Thanks . This is a very helpful video! I’m about to tackle this job today.

Ha! I stopped at How to put down Your MGB. They must have seen mine. It's in need of care, or a bury in a ditch, whichever is easier.

Great tutorial thanks very much👍

Very informative.

Thank you for making this video! I have had a new top in a box in my basement for about 9 months waiting for warmer weather to fit it and because I was scared. This video eased my fears.

Not the proper way!

Glad your still doing engines for mgb s.

MG only ever offered a choice of one third-rate and two second-rate tops on the MGB. If you really need a first-rate top, buy an Alfa.

It would help to show how to remove the arm with a spring clip rather than a screw. Not very much help on the web. Update, just got both of the arms off my 1969 GT (no screw). I lifted the arm, and used a small bladed screwdriver to prise the spring loaded clip away from the wheel box by rotating the blade against the retaining nut. A little pressure and a wiggle and they came off! Just need to order some new ones!

Hi does it usually come with headrail screws?

This is the best video I found on youtube by far! Thank you! Is that a Prestige hood? It looks just like the one I bought.

Thanks 👍

Excellent idea for setting the front snap, thanks

Beautiful car.

Thanks for explaining procedure very clearly.

Where might we find the thin metal seal retainer?

Excellent instruction Mate!!

That is the best advert for Castrol classic I've ever seen, if only all adverts were this good I would start watching TV again, as it is the adverts on TV boil my head,

Car is fun to drive but the hood is poorly designed. To cover it or to open takes too much of a time

Come è bella

Well, I still do the method at 4:15 that you're not supposed to do, despite seeing this great video a while back. But that's only because my hood was in bad shape when I bought her a few years ago, so I guess I was more focused on the mechanical aspects of the vehicle first. I always knew I'd need a new one. And when I get a new one, it will be taken care of and I'll use the proper procedure, especially the folding of the window sections, with the crease being on the black areas and not the clear areas. That's important. I'm glad my convertible mechanism is in great operating condition. I lubed all metal to metal areas too. Thanks for the helpful video.

Much better option is to get the hood without the quarter lights but with an unzipping rear window. That way you can undo the rear window on very hot days and have airflow plus shade, and you can Chuck the hood down easily without all this flap. The quarter light windows are a pain and rather unnecessary. I can even put my hood up and down from within the car at traffic lights. 😂

Fantastic work chaps..

Silly me was wondering why there was a almost six minute video of how to close the hood..... should have known the hood is the top and what I call the hood is the bonnet...

I find the MGOC parts some of the best of what is available for MGB's. I wish the shipping to the US would be listed in the cart instead of getting a quote.

buy a fiat 124!

Great video!

Great video

Brilliant must invest in this product great video very informative. Thank god for clasic valve master keeping old cars on the road

My 1968 MGB had a completely different type of hood. It didn’t fold into that well area. The hood had to be lifted off the frames and folded up. The frames were joined down the centre line of the car. They had to be lifted off and separated. Then the whole lot had to be stored in the boot. A truly awful design.

thanks for the heads up 👍

is it available a hydraulic one for a LHD MGB 1969 ????

GREAT VIDEO. I HAVE OWNED 2 MGB'S (76+77) IT WOULD OF BEN NICE TO KNOW THE CORRECT WAY OF LOWERING THE TOP.

What about for storage, can this be left in the fuel and stored safely for months ie does it stop the water separating issue?

I would just like to say how useful these information videos are! Defiantly gives me the confidence to purchase and do little jobs on the B without thinking I'll snap something. Would be great to see a few more of the common MGB consumable parts replacements to pass down this knowledge to younger generations of B owners. Books and workshop manuals are great, but there's nothing like being told and watching the process. Thanks MGOC Spares

I read somewhere that increasing capacity, to over 1860cc or so, could lead to weakness in the engine due to the amount of material taken away. Please could you clarify how you avoid doing that in this case?

Any further videos on this please? Details on what work is done and how you get to two liters? Thanks :)
