Dan and Skye:
Just a note. I parted out my 65 MGB a couple of months ago. The
bonnet pads that I had installed a number of years ago came out without real
damage. The back surface is kinda fluffy and the 3M spray adhesive I used
did not penetrate very far. I'm planning on reusing them when I put my 78
together. The correct ones available on the market seem to be pretty solid.
Kelvin.
