Robert:
I don't want this taken as horn tooting, but just for info only.
The kit Moss carries is made by a German company and is designed
specifically for the MGB. It totally replaces the original winder and
lift mechanisms.
If you are interested, I can send you a copy of the installation
instructions.
I brought it in from Moss UK, so it's kinda my baby.
