Looks like I will have to replace the rear inner panels and the outer rear wing panels . and may do the front wings at the same time... :roll:

Can anyone advise how much and what’s a good source to get them from? I live near Moss’s in Feltham but don’t want to pay over the odds but on the other hand want something half decent quality wise !

I have a a 1963 Transitional two door saloon

Thanks for any advice. :D

Going to MOSS would save you carriage... ask them for a bulk-buy discount!

Just been to Moss what a compete waste of time. The guy behind the desk seemed to know less than me, said they had nothing I asked for in stock , did'nt seem that fussed about selling me anything ..

Very nice fancy Morris Minor Catalog however...

Anyone hada better experiance elsewhere recently? :roll:

No told me to contact some other companies for the parts. I dont think I could force my money on him. Very odd don't see how they stay in business...

Don't think I will be going back again very soon :roll:

I get most of my parts from East Sussex Minors

http://www.morrisminorspares.co.uk/

They have a good website or can send you a catalogue, prices are usually good and they are very clear about what they have in stock. Postage service is very quick, I live in Northern Ireland and generally if I buy online or phone before lunchtime the parts are here next day.

Thanks for the recommendation David, I will have to check them out.

Does anyone know if there is a real difference between the Heritage wing panels and the pattern ones, apart from the price obviously!

They fit! If you can afford it go for the Heritage wings. The pattern ones have to be "made" to fit which takes quite a bit of time.

ESM have the Hadrian panel presses and so now currently make the best Morris Minor panels available.

Their rear chassis leg section is particularly good quality!

have you tried Chertsy minors, which is just round the corner from you?

I would give them a call rather than turning up as they are very small but very helpful, they might be able to get the parts for you
