MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Tonneau & Roll Bar

Have seen a few items in the archives on this, but does anyone know an individual or company in Kent that can undertake alterations to a tonneau?

I have not purchased any of the bits yet but am looking to purchase a low spec tonneau together with an FIA type roll over bar. Obviously the cover will need alterations!

Any names and numbers would be useful, can anyone offer assistance? Advice even!!!

Thanks.

Chris,

I am looking at the same thing currently - I have the aero bar type and its always difficult to cut around the bars and make a good job of it.

Have seen a sort of loose fit top that goes over windscreen / rollbar and straps to the wheel arches, on the MGOC site, but not sure what it would look like in real life - anybody used one - Rhino tops ?

Richard,
If you refer to the greyish things, yes, I have one for the midget and Trish has one for her Miata. They work well as a shade, keeping your stereo out of sight and keeping the interior of the car quite cool. They will shed water in a light rain, but just to give you time to get out there and cover it properly. Roll bars can be a problem, however, in that they were not generally anticipated by the designer. Mine still fits, but not as well.
