Hello.

I've just bought a blue Minor with the regestration plate DVG 217G and was wondering if any one knew anything about this car. It's had some new wings fited at some time but the rear wing that the rear wing atatches to needs renewing, can someone tell me what that bit is called.

Its called the rear inner wing if you look in the psrts section you can see a diagram of the parts in the rear chassis repair section.

Thanks Kevin. Are these bit easy to get hold of? Can you still get these new?

Symon yes all the parts are available, favorite places are either Bull Motif or East Sussex Minors, I just quoted the other site so you could see the actual sections.

Symon,
Follow the link shown then to parts then to:
Body Parts & Panels (Rear Chassis Repair Sections)

You should beable to see the part you need but as the drawings are small you might need a bit of guidance over the phone.
Also remember that CW is only one of many suppliers and without wanting to infringe the rules on here, it is often worth considering prices and service from some of the other suppliers

Thanks again Kevin and thanks Ray.
I've checked out a few other sites and I've seen a book "The Haynes Restoration Book". Would this be a good book to get? I need to get new springs on the back as I only have one leaf on the drivers side; It's a bit bouncy.

Is it the one specifically for the Morris Minor as there are a couple of books just about the moggie and are a bit more relevant than a general book.

Hi Kevin
Yes it's the one just for the Morris Minor. I think that as I have so much work to do I'll have to get a good book. If any one else has any suggestions about which book or books to get I'd appreciate the advice.

Keep an eye out on Ebay as quite a few Moggie books appear on there for a couple of quid, and it does not seem to matter how many you have as they all seem to have different bits in them, apart from the one you mention, get the haynes morris minor manual and also a copy of the proper BMC one as this has far more detail + any others you see as they should not cost much.
