rear window chrome

Post by sii803 »

My MM i believe is from Jan 1950 (33863). Looking in Ray Newell's book Original Morris Minor (which I enjoy and would reccomend to all owners) I can not find a picture showing the rear screen chrome molding. I have the moldings for the front though they are missing the joiners and are not fitted.


Looking at the production break points, I think my car should have front and rear moldings around the screens. Is this correct? Anybody got a picture of the rear one?

I know the seals changed at some point. If I have the worng seals will the moldings not fit? How do I tell?

Thanks,
Matt

The rear screen insert was fitted to 4 door models between 1950 and 1951 commencing SMM 62551 (RHD), SMM 65004 (LHD) and finishing SMM 114122 (RHD). SMM 110631 (LHD).

There is a photo of the rear screen on P.51, Series MM Super Profile by Ray Newell.
Apart from the very early cars up to SMM 10607 (LHD), SMM 27384 (RHD), the windsreen fittings were unchanged. Source:_ Series MM Super Profile P.10

Thanks Mike. I have got the Super Profile for the 1000 but not the MM. I should look into buying it.
