Quarterlights
Is there any way you can stiffen up the quartlights so they are less susceptible to blowing shut at high speeds?

I believe mine have been left in a garage for a few years and never ever WD40'd...

Re: Quarterlights
Use a big Philips screwdriver on the big Philips screw at the bottom. That tensions them up. They should stay open at speeds reached by a normal Morris Minor

Re: Quarterlights
and they should have thin springy washers behind the screws to stop the paintwork chipping

Re: Quarterlights
Tried to tighten mine today, they blow shut at about 50mph but the screws wouldn't go any tighter. Don't really find it a problem though.
