MG TD TF 1500 - Hood/top fitting

Hello,

I saw on your web site, picture like below, regarding the fitting of the hood on MG TF 1500 (1250)

I’d like to get pictures of the hood finished, in this area : how does it fit, properly, at the end of the windscreen ?

Any advise, and over all pictures, would greatly help ! J

Thank you for this

Warmly

Thierry

Hi Thierry,

I don't know if you are familiar with the book by Horst Sachs but he shows exactly how to cut the material so the corners fit properly. I have done the job and it is scary. You have to cut a triangle out of the hood covering and get it wrong and you are in trouble. I don't have scanning facilities so cannot send you the pics but am certain someone else can

Cheers

This is the bit I think will help you

OK, I'll be that guy. I have a copy of Schach's book and it is copyrighted. It clearly states that no part of the book may be reproduced or transmitted in any manner without his approval. I really don't like bringing this up on such a friendly and supportive forum but posting material from his book is potentially taking money from him. He may be perfectly happy to allow the pictures above but he should be asked first. Again, sorry for being that guy.
