Interchangeable DD hood- or not

Post by Steven collins »

‘66 B currently with a black folding frame and DD hood , I also have the black tonneau sticks which I would like to use. Will the DD Hood fit straight into the sticks ( obviously after disassembling from folding frame) I know there is a disparity between the black and grey frames but unsure with both black type frames?
Currently the rear window on the black folding frame appears quite “loose” and not stretched out as I have seen on other MG’s
Many thanks in advance.

No one have any ideas?
Guess I will have to take the bull by the horns and strip the folding hood from the frame and see how it fits on the stix if it doesn’t work I will have to put it back together.

I don't know what you mean when you say "Will the DD Hood fit straight into the sticks". If you are using a full or half tonneau the hood is not part of the set-up and remains folded at the back of the cockpit.

I wondered if I can put my Double Duck hood (which is currently on a black folding frame) straight onto a black pack away hood frame

Ah, I see. Frankly I have no idea. I have only ever owned folding frame cars.
