I have linked this from .org. I tried to copy it but my powers of computer skill are shocking. Anyhow for anyone looking to get a better fit of the hood here is what I did. I had a solicitor present at all times in the altering of the hood.

Top job, but I still say the gap disappears when you put the roof down anyway. :yesnod:

Thanks Andy. It's there on ours but not as big. (Oo-er)

MG Paranoia dictates that I must try and adjust. Which will result in the gap ending up biggerererer. And different on each side.

And after 40 years of tinkering with everything, an MG is more effective at causing deep cuts than a scalpel.
So there will be blood. And swearing.

I usually reserve bleeding for when I open cheap PC cases, some of the edges are sharper than your wit John :)
