I got this nice MGF enhancement from my dear wife for my 48th birthday

off
the T-Bar
One of two clips got broken, Oh, its an MG :) ... or my poor craftmans skills, who knows ... |
A load of stainless steel bolts, washers, nylock nuts and studs :) |
a node to the seatbelt and off the bolt with a Torx 50 driver | bracket at the seatbelt runway. The Jigsaw will cut you soon :)))) |
 |
 |
 |
  |
|
loosening the belt at the seat, a really boring job.... You need a T50 wrench |
Loosen the doofers bolts and take care of the rear fixture plate | directing
the screw driver to the T-Bars center hole & the screw to the main
frame |
Right hand and left hand sides gap of the T-Bar to the door sealing. Everything was OK and much easier as it looks here. |

centering the
T-Bar to the door seals, The following works to the T-Bar took a long time of cutting, but I enjoyed it :)) |

 |
| template sticker, secure is secure, better check double and triple before anything goes wrong at the later cutting of U-shapes | preparing the template sticker, for pasting it to the T-Bar. At first bend it sharp at the position of the center hole and then only cut the cover paper on the bottom side. | The pasted sticker. The ends at the right and left side shape are a bit long, but indicate to cut parallel along the rear edge of the T-Bar | shape depth parallel to the rear edge, here indicated by the red marks |
 |
 |

| A
M4 long threaded bolt screwed to the mainframes centre hole is vital
to direct the cut works in a closed loop by cut, check, cut. ... works like building a sculpture. :o) |
the top view indicates on each interference | ||

|
| shapes seen from out of the cars inner side | 2mm gap between the mainframe and the T-Bar foam should be ... but who cares, I am a 'small mashine engineer' and count in 1/10th mm... *g* | ||

three
month later I unfortunately had a strong roll over accident. Survived
non-hurt.

The roll hood cover does not fit any longer. The above image indicates the interference at the outer right and left hoop base. Don Liang will introduce a light fabric RHC soon Anyway, the TUEV individual approval was done without Roll Hood Cover ;-) |

This
is another installation of our omnibus purchase. Customised windmesh, complete sprayed in volcano orange Sorry, the weather here is currently only good for garage photos |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
*g* I'm not that chrome shine lover, .. pssst....so lets see how to
customise the windmesh to my individual requirements. May be I'll let
it spray in BRG with PU-paint to match my MGFs colour, but only the
outer chrome shining bow, not the black mesh in my case. :)) |
I needed about
6 hours including the photos for completing the works.. |
Now I customised the shining mesh frame to anthracite colour. :)) |
The hinges got sprayed in black colour. |
