I was wondering if anyone could direct me to someplace that makes or sells a vinyl/leather rollbar cover for my MGB. mine is rather scratched from raising/lowering the roof. I've seen a couple at car shows, and I can't seem to find one on line..Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks Chris

I'd think an upholstery shop would be able to whip one up pretty easily. If you have a sewing machine that'll handle vinyl, you could probably make your own without too much trouble. Use velcro for the closure.

Vinyl upholstery paint may be all you need.

I'd try a couple online Jeep or off-road suppliers. I bet they have them.

And if you want to put some proper padding under the cover, we have been happy with this company: http://www.rollbarpadding.com

Try autopower industies website, they sell a rollbar cover kit that coes on with velcro closures. Looks pretty universal.
