MG Midget and Sprite Technical - hardtop sidescreens

before I spend a lot of time restoring a factory hardtop I bought for my frogeye I was wondering if the sidescreens/sidecurtains were different? I thought I remember someone saying they were a different height than the soft top ones.Bob C

Please put an image up and I'll try to tell you. If it's a factory one rather than a Donald Healey one then you shouldn't have any problem.

I have a set of hardtop side screens that I think are the same height but the door latch end have a different angle. I will try to find them and post a photo.

perhaps the diferent angle is for hardtop put on midget GAN1.
for the frog, the works hardtop uses the std sidescreens
for sprite MKI 948cc, std sidescreen
for midget MKI 948cc, side screen with different rear angle
for sprite and midget 1098 raodster: stad sidescreen.
for healey works hardtops, only the frog version has special sidescreens. The sprite II and midget I healey works hardtop had std sidescreens.
A photo of your hardtop would help
