Morris Minor Owners Club

Here is another chance if you missed out last time. I'm looking for a headlining/ screen fitter volunteer. To spend a day or two locked in my garage with me next week end Sat 28th or Sun 29th. or even the week after which is a bank holiday May 5th, 6th, 7th.
Usual rules loads of tea and cake and at least one square meal provided!

Seriously though I really could do with a hand if anyone has got any experience and doesn’t live to far away.

thanks, Roger.

Wot no volunteers?

Sorry Roger but I am away.

He always is

Everybody seems to have gone into hiding Roger .....and before you ask, Committee Meeting tomorrow, etc, etc. Sorry.

Vets tomorrow and the Birmingham Rally sunday

not good enough Lee, I need a note from your mother.

How about next weekend anyone? 5th 6th or 7th?

Well I'm pleased to say I have put the roof lining in. I thought it was a hard job. The new wires arrived this morning and its now 6 pm and its done.

I had to fit it twice - it was a bit loose front to back the first time. I think thats because the modern vinyl backeked material is more pliable than the original canvas backed one.

I put it down to the following.

1) its the hottest day of the year
2) The car was completely empty so nothing was in the way.
3) I purchased some 1.5mm vinyl coated stainless steel wire rope. It is very smoth and flexible but has a 80Kg breaking stain.

So now its time for tea.

I'm going to leave it for a few days before I fit the interior light and trims to let it settle.

I've also fitted the window tops and windscreen and its only Tuesday!

I don't go back to work until next Tuesday so hope to see some progress.

Well done Roger

Sounds good Roger, I always thought the headlining was supposed to be an awful job, but there again people said the quarterlight rubbers were... I found them as easy as fitting new spark plugs
Hope you're soon finished and back on the road
