Title: Window Roll Down
Post by: 2022 on May 07, 2022, 10:47:24 AM: Quick question. Should the side windows on my '74 B-GT roll all the way down?

I installed the window regulator brackets available from Moss and it limits the downward

Travel of the regulator so 3-4 inches of window remain above the door top

This bracket is supposedly for both roadster and GT

And advice greatly appreciated

Thank you.

But I have not heard any reports that the rear brakes work better with the shoes fitted one way or the other. I have a short YouTube video about the proper positioning of the shoes.

T types and MGAs with drums in front are a whole different matter. If the shoes are fitted backwards, it’s all but impossible to stop those earlier MGs.

Hope this helps!
SAFETY FAST!
