Convertible detailed picture request.

Post by heathy12 »

Can anyone help me out please.

Im after a few shots of Morris Minor convertible windscreen top, side windows and also the rear area above the frame.

Want to get an idea of what the rear guttering above the boot looks like in particular.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers.

My car is a 1952. I can get you a picture of the guttering above the boot lid and the windscreen top.

Does this help you?[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]
What do you mean by rear guttering above the boot? I don't quite follow.

Many thanks chap.

Thats perfect.

Im also after a look at the back end, the bit below the hood stow area.

Also the side window attachment to the body, Are they fixed windows or removable on convertibles??

|Really appreciate your help chap.

Cheers.

Here's the area you are referring to-I'll do a close up tomorrow.To remove the frame you need to remove the rear panel on the inside as there is another screw -could actually be two. I cant remember exactly as it's a while since I had that panel off.[frame]Image[/frame]

Cheers Declan.

Thats brilliant. looking into a conversion and needed to get an idea of what the original bits looked like.

If you could spare a minute to get a shot of the underside that'd be great. I think theres a lip like around the boot apeture.

Are the convertible side windows removable?? Or was this just an early car feature??

Maybe this will help. There is a lip where the wood goes on and you can just about see it in the first photo under the clamp. Maybe sombody has a convertible with the hood removed and can take a better photo.[frame]Image[frame]Image[/frame]The boot aperture is the same as the saloon as far as I can see.[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]
The side windows are permanently installed-the earlier cars were different and you have to remove the cards to access the bolts. If you need anything else let me know. Why not plan a trip to Canterbury Convertibles if it's not too far for you?
