MG MG Y Type - Side Curtain Stowage

Does anyone have any diagram/picture of the proper way to stow the sidecurtains in the YT? Usually they have to be nested in a particular way to fit the space.

Thanks... CR

I hope this sequence of photos will explain my process of sidescreen stowage. They will soon be available on the International MG Y-Type Website as a printable info sheet. There are 9 photos in the sequence.

Al,

Thank you very much! That is exactly the information I was hoping to get regarding the stowing of the side curtains. Also thanks for showing the stowage bag, that is excellent.

I am currently re-lining the stowage compartment as the seats are out for re-upholstery, and I want to make sure I keep the room required.

I have sent some notes off to Paul Barrow to load on the website with each of the photos.

They should make it all clear & complete.

Could you make a pattern for your stowage bag and share it with Paul for the website please CR ?.

Cheers

Gentlemen

Attached please find a drawing of a stowage bag, my local upholstery made for me. The flap to the right is outfitted with a velcro fastener.

On his recommendation the trimmer added two suitcase-like handles on the narrow top side of the bag and re-inforced the narrow bottom strip with a tripple layer of material.

P.S.: The bag is a bit on the big side, but the drawing sure can serve as sample for such a bag.
