> I just went to a rubber bumper conversion seminar at MG2004 here in
NJ. Seems like a much easier project now that it's been explained to
me "in-person". Moss now makes a conversion kit for the MGB, but the
fellow giving the seminar (Peter Cosmides from www.motorcar-garage.com) has
been doing this procedure from scratch for years.

> Based on Peter's talk today, an inexpensive Midget for parts would
certainly be helpful. You could then fabricate the missing
sheet-metal bits and also have a guide for what goes where.
However, don't discount the time and effort you might spend cleaning up
parts from the donor car. Perhaps converting a Midget would be
even easier than doing a "B". I will pose that question tomorrow when
I go back for more learnin'...

> I've been thinking the same thing on myrestored '76 Midget. Each
time I open the bonnetand see that original opening in the sheetmetalI want
to pull the rubber off and buy the newbits. I then remind myself that
my goal is toNOT invest any more money in this car. Yet, ifI could
find a parts car I would buy all the bitsexcept the bumpers and grill then
buy those new.So many things to enjoy, so little money in
thebudget..best,rick
