Fitting Sebring front valance to '72 B

[neilr]

Greetings,

After using lowered springs all round (rather than blocks on the rear) Im fitting sebring valances to the car. However, even though Moss assure me that the fibreglass item they sold me is designed for both cars retaining the original wings (which i am) as well as the whole conversion, I cant see how it can possibly fit!

Having fitted verious items of fibreglass to the midget, im aware for the amount of messing about that can be needed to get a fibreglass item to fit properly, but this just simply seems too big (by about an inch width ways if you look front on to the car once its wrapped round the wings). Anyone have any tips or good ideas?! Are they all from the same suppliers or are the ones from the owners club for example different? they are certainly cheaper. Any suggestions welcome! Ive not drilled any holes in it or marked it yet so i can still take it back if needs be.

Having said that the lowered and slightly stiffened suspension setup has totally transformed the car into something hugely entertaining.

Cheers,

Neil.

Read, copious use of file, angle grinder, fibreglass resin and matt and filler.

Cheers,

I had a feeling that would be the answer!

Fibreglass is always the same!

I have a 1970 MGBGT with totally original body work, i have a sebring front valance it fits fine. Good luck fitting it I think the bolts holding it on will pull it into position. Cheers simon.
