"Within the boot on the rear bulkhead there are locations to thread two straps that carry the tool roll sitting over the spare wheel. I've never seen any details of these straps and I think most MGA's don't have them fitted. Is it possible to make the straps with some buckles and webbing"?

"I have a strap which I believe is original: it certainly looks like the ones shown on page 32 of Clausager. The black strap material is exactly one inch wide and twenty inches long (20.5" to the buckle end). The buckle itself appears to have been stamped from 16 gauge steel with the centre cross piece bent around to capture the 1/8" diameter buckle guide. There are two rivet type fasteners fixing the end of the material at the buckle end and the other end has a steel grip crimped on to prevent the strap material from fraying. See the photos".
