Re: Backplates

Hi,
I think the Morris Minor Centre in Bath can supply ready made backplates.I don't know how much they cost.
I have just bought a Morris Ital 1275 + engine/clutch/gearbox on e-bay, and intend to do the same conversion later this year, so I would be interested to know how you progress.
