MG MGB Technical - Stow-away instalation

I know this has been covered before, I've installed them myself [20 years ago], but if any one has a link to stow-away top instalation instructions, please post it.

Hi there

Try this link, it's got heaps of help for hood folding (and almost anything MGB you can think of.) Having Origami as a hobby also helps. Good luck

Should be http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/wn_bodyframe.htm
then click on 'Roadster hood/top'. This is for the later fold-away not the earlier packaway, not sure which camp 'stow-away' falls into!

RP, Paul thanks for the responce, but I'm looking for step by step for the stow away, especialy for the header, I know they are out there its just a matter of the right person reading this post. RIC

Do you mean installing a brand new one, as opposed to raising and lowering?
Installing a new stow away is essentialy the same as the folding top. Lindsay Porter's "mgb restoration Manual" has a good section on this.

To the "Pauls" I refer to the stow away as the grey framed pack away which stows away in the trunk and I want instructions for installing a new top on an old grey header in case there are any tricks that might help. RIC

Paul Slice has answered this, there is really no substitute for the five pages of description and photos that Porter provides.
