Hi
I’m looking to remove the side trims and Morris minor signs on side of the bonnet so I can cut and polish. Any hints how to remove clips on inside without damaging anything
Thanks Ronnie

Not sure if this assists but the ā€˜ spigots ā€˜ for want of a better word can easily break off . If you can locate a pair of long reach pliers onto the spire fixing and rotate the fixing , pulling upwards , they may screw off .

Agree with the above, not easy to get off take extreme care.
When I replaced mine I ran a die down the studs (4 or 6ba I think) so the trims can be held on with nuts/washers.
