as much as I love MGs (own a '72 BGT), I find this top design beyond comprehension ... omg what a production 😮 and God help you in a sudden monsoon like where I live! I'm viewing this video because a 62 Mk2 MGA has taken up residence in my shop 🙄 so thanks for posting 😊

Hi Ryan thanks I hope it helped in practice with your car.

I wonder why they made this so cumbersome? Why not do what everybody else does and just make a top that unlatches and flips back? Alfa Romeo did this with no issues.

Slightly better than my MG where you stored the hood in the boot along with the frame and installed a tonnuea over the passenger compartment.

if the idea is to do this as a stoplight, you'll have to choose a long one. :) and putting those sidecurtains away ain't all that quick or simple either. great color combination BTW.

It would be very interesting to see how your quick release for the seat belt works, you have clearly engineered your own fitting. Many thanks!

Hi Ray The quick release is actually from an early MGB. I bought the belts and fittings from Quickfit. Seat Belts in London. www.quickfitsbs.com/index.php The fitting can be seen at: www.mgexp.com/phile/1/225989/seat_belt.jpg

What a ball-ache. I have an MGA but I've only ever driven it in fine weather so have never put the hood up.

Hello John, I was fighting again with the soft top of my mga 1600, Then I saw your video and it helped me a lot. But, I just can't manage to get the frame stand upright. Do you have any tips for me? (Cornelius from the Netherlands)

Hi Kees. I wonder if you have the later hood frame. These would not stand up. However I have never used one. Have you tried looking at the MGAGuru website.
@keesstam909
@keesstam909 3 месяца назад
HI john, thanks for your answer, I have an early 1600 (GHNL76733). So it should be possible to stand up. I will look at the GURU site, and keep you informed.

That was quite a production. It took nearly the entire video of 3+ minutes to get the top down. It takes me all of 5-6 seconds to get the top up or down on my 2020 Mazda Miata. For the life of me, I can never figure out why the Brits couldn't have come up with a simpler, faster convertible top... the Japanese had to do it!! oh well!! 🤔

They did! Just not on the MGA, I’m a big MX5 fan, but they came thirty/forty years after this stuff… apples and oranges…😊
