MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Bill and T-shaped Bead

Hi Bill,
I visited Cherry at the hospital today. She is in primer, and doing well. I took the opportunity of photographing the various ends of the beading, and the message is:- however you do it, it will almost certainly be better than the factory job!

This is perhaps too late, but I hoped it might make you feel skillful and reassured.

That's fantastic and much appreciated! It's not too late as I haven't trimmed any of the beading ends yet. Your pictures clearly show what lurks beneath the trim and rubber fittings. Thanks again and I hope Cherry makes a full recovery!
