MGB & GT Forum

I need a new hood for my 72 MGB. Is there really $600 worth of difference between a BMH and an after market? Thanks in advance.

I have used After Market with few problems. They both have to be sanded, primed and painted. A couple of they and yhe pinch welds along the edges and across the back, kicking the "Lip Out,." Those edges had to be hammered inward in order for them to clear the cowl and fender edges. Also the holes for the "Catch / Latch" on the front section had "Metric Threads" instead of standard. I had to Re-Tap those. I understand Freight charges have been modified so that UPS will now accept them for shipping, ??Maybe Fedex, not sure. It used to be "Truck Freight" which could add a "CHUNK" to the price. Call first ?????
