Damaged Bonet
I got up early yesterday to service the morris before the heat arrived. During which I noticed that I deen to replace the steering rack gators,and a wheel cyilinder which has started to weep. Job done we set off for a ride out. BUT I didn't shut the bonnet properly and it flew up just a few milse from home. So Now I need someone to help me sort the mess out!! We intend going to The South of France in 5 weeks time. Can anyone sugest a good reliable body man near Halstead in north Essex.

Re: Damaged Bonet
Is it just the bonnet that was damaged? If so you could just bolt another one on to get you out of trouble and it's just a paint job then.

Post and ad here in the 'wanted' forum?
There's usually a few bonnets on e-bay and most of them seem to go cheaply. And if you look through the adverts in Minor Matters quite a few traders stock secondhand spares eg Minor Services Ely, Minor Parts of Oxford etc and someone in Kent is advertising one for sale in the small ads section.
Edit: Here's one in Bedford with a 'buy it now' price of £10 and it's the right colour: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Morris-1000-Bonne ... 335e22ca48

Theres a 'free' one going on the other forum - but if you can one the right colour for £10 - grab it! Did it hold on the support latch - or did that tear out and let the bonnet smash into the screen ? Did the hinges hold ???
