For comparison, have you seen that Mid Sussex Minors sell late hood frames
for £150 ?

I think you will find that the majority of hood frames and in fact convertible kits are from John at Mid Sussex.

these guys make them themselves, what are the msm's like for fit and quality?

I had a bespoke hood frame made a few months ago by John. This was for a splitty conversion to a convertible, but as I don't like the lines of the early hoods John combined the front rail fit and front bars to the later frame. I must say that the build was very good. I have trial fitted this frame to a genuine convertible and all seems very good. I may just tidy up a few welds on the frame, but thats me being a perfectionist rather than any shortcommings with John's work

just to let everyone know, i've just picked-up a frame from john at mid sussex minors.
i was expecting to start grinding welds and painting but, to my delight, the welds are quite tidy and the frame is already powder-coated read to fit.
the fit is all i could have hoped for, if anyone is looking for a frame then don't hesitate this guy really knows what he's doing.
