the roof on my '79B. Some questions:
1. Is it worth it to get the factory (tickford) roof
with the header bar preinstalled? My header bar is in
fine shape...is it very difficult to attach a new roof
to an old header bar? (I have limited technical
abilities). >>

I would refer you to the article in PDLJMPR on installing a new hood. Go to:
http://members.tripod.com/PDLJMPR/techin.htm and click on the link to the
article you need.
This was actually for a Midget, but it should be very similar to a B. This
kind of help goes a long way to building up the confidence you need to tackle
a new job on your LBC, and you will get the satisfaction of doing it
yourself, while saving some money.
I am about to install an AMCO hood on my Midget. The procedure doesn't look
too difficult. Just pay attention to how tight you stretch the fabric so it
isn't too loose in the summer and too tight in the winter.
Good luck,
