Getting together a list for my 66 van, in the past i have always used the heritage inner a panel with m-machines outer 'a' with door pillar. Am i best just sticking with what i normally use or should i give magnums panel a go? Anyone used it before?

I just replaced inner and outer A panels. I first bought a Magnum inner and Heritage outer. They fit together well but the area where the hinge plates are welded on cause the panel to be buckeled, not flat. Hard to get it flat against inner fender. I order a heritage inner and fab. work is much better.

I fitted Heritage to my mk1 but must admit the inner A panel looked horrifically made.

I thought Mini spares had sent me a reject but now know they are all like it.

I've just fit a magnum inner A panel and what a pain. The surface that mates up to the inner wing was just a mess of wrinkles. So bad I had to cut slices in the worst of them, bash the whole piece flat and then weld up the slices. It took some serious time.

I can't speak for Heritage though.

I've used both, some ok some not so. Magnum I tend to use mainly for a repair panel only, so if I'm just repairing a section of it, like if the bottom has rotten but the rest is fine.

Ended up ordering just the usual heritage one, dont really want to risk having a poorly fitting one
