On the second question, I would be curious as to how 226-675 looks and =
fits when you get them. I have never seen this piece as the door panel =
clips go right in the holes in the door (at least on 2 cars I have =
owned). Moss shows them for 1970-1980 which is probably true. My older =
MGs (67 BGT, 64B) use screws rather than clips.

=20

The first question, I am not positive on. I have done it several times =
and did replace the panels on my 72B about ten years ago (but I plan on =
opening the doors back up for lock maintenance this next winter). They =
just separate as far as removal but its related to how they overlap/clip =
on the sides. On assembly, I think I started each one (top and bottom) =
partway and then edged them together. =20

Before my technical questions, let me ask about manuals.=C2=A0 I have an of=
ficial MGB factory workshop manual, but it was printed in 1965, so obviousl=
y it is not a lot of help with many things on my 1971.=C2=A0 I also have th=
e Bentley manual for 1962-1974, but it's main emphasis is the earlier cars,=
 with not a lot of emphasis on the later cars in the 1962 - 1974 group.=C2=
=A0 Mine being a 1971, I can find no reference to the seat belt shoulder ha=
rness attachment design used on the 1968 - 1971 cars.=C2=A0 Does anyone hav=
e a recommendation for a good service manual for a 1971 MGB?=C2=A0 Also, is=
 there a useful parts book available for this same year (other than the Mos=
s Motors catalog - which is quite helpful)?
Next question.=C2=A0 I want to replace the outer seals on the door window g=
lass.=C2=A0 These seals are PN 282-380 and 282-390 on page 66 of the Moss c=
atalog.=C2=A0 These seals attach to the outer side of the slot in the top o=
f the door, with rivets.=C2=A0 The problem is getting to the rivets with th=
e window in place.=C2=A0 Is there a way to lower the door glass to get to t=
he rivets, or is it necessary to remove the window glass.=C2=A0 If so, what=
 is the procedure to remove the glass?=C2=A0 My manuals are lacking in thes=
e instructions, or I just haven't found it yet.
While I've got the doors apart, I'm thinking about changing the window regu=
lator on the driver's side door.=C2=A0 There is lot's of slop in the mechan=
ism.=C2=A0 The handle moves almost a half turn before the window starts to =

Really you need the later version of the Leyland Workshop Manual or =
Bentley, although I would have expected the Bentley to cover your 71 if =
it goes up to 74.  The electrical system is probably the thing that =
varies the most from year to year, and you can get those online from =
http://www.advanceautowire.com/mgb.pdf.  The only place I have seen any =
information about the quick-release shoulder belts that attach to the =
tonneau panel is in the appropriate drivers handbook, but that is =
minimal, only covering fastening and unfastening. =20

To replace the seals you need to remove the glass.  Remove the bolts =
securing the regulator to the inner door panel, then you can manoeuvre =
the rollers out of the channel at the bottom of the glass, and lift the =
glass out.  The regulator is removed by folding it up then it can come =
out of the large aperture.  Easily said, quite easily done.  But =
remember how you did it, when I went to refit mine some months later it =
took me ages to work out how to reverse the process!  There are loads on =
eBay, in the UK at least.

I think it's true to say that the body and fittings are probably the =
least well covered, it's a case of looking and feeling around, =
cogitating, and trial and error.  When I got my first MGB 26 years ago =
and stripped it there was very little if any internet support, just the =
manuals.
