MGB GT DOOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YEARS
Hi. I have a 1975 MGB GT, early rubber bumper. The doors are pretty shot through with rust. When looking for replacements, are there any differences between the pre-1975 chrome bumper and the later rubber bumper versions of door. Will the early ones fit the later ones basically? Cheers. Garry.

Hello Gary.
The main changes to the doors predate the change to rubber bumpers.
A chrome bumper door from a BGT that had the larger internal handle come arm rest will be the same as on a rubber bumper car. Before those handles and the corporate inside latch/lock handle there were a number of changes. For the exact change point its best to look at Clausengers (sp?) book.
