Re: Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

Thanks, that's why I asked.
I've wrecked it now, so will do as you suggest as I realised (when I eventually got it off) that there was no support on the outer side apart from the replacement panel. They are listed, but a plate will suffice.
Got to be after the National now.

Re: Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

That's what I thought, thanks. What about panel suppliers transit covering? Is this a sort of weld thru primer, or essential to remove it for welding/painting?

Re: Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

Can anyone offer an opinion on weather it is necessary to re-fit the shipping bracket please.
Not concerned about originality, just structural integrity.
Edited to say that I have removed it for fitting of inner wing panel,and now undecided on re fitting.?

Re: Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

Oh gawd, add to that list rear outer sill panel now. As I am fitting the whole inner wing, do I really need to replace the transit tie-down bracket, or is this considered essential for bracing/ structural strength around the spring mount? Or could I cheat, and cut around it ? :o The area around it i...

Re: Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

Agreed, thanks for confirmation.
Written off bringing it to the Rally now( but still bringing the M/H), as I'm fitting the whole lot--inner arch,flange repair and 3/4 panel with new welder that I am getting to know---slowly.

Re: OUCH!!!!!!

Thanks for clarification, as that is how I understood the fact that they were not interchangable.
I will swap trunnion pins when upgrading, along with brakes and torsion bars.

Re: OUCH!!!!!!

Does this offset affect the suspension geometry Phil? If so how have you corrected it?
I have complete Ital suspension, I assume they are the same?

Re: Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

Thanks for advice which chimed in with what I thought. The rot "only" extends to where it can be seen from latest photo below, and the amount of filler is mainly to re profile the existing home made panel repair I believe, so will wait for rest of repair sections to appear before deciding ...

Re: Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

Oh dear, I am waiting for the panels to arrive to see if this area was included before ordering and fabricating a joining piece. Repeat filler question please,how far to chase filler back, it is pretty thick, and extensive although well applied--it fooled me! Can't work out if the wing mounting flan...

Re: Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

Guess I was being a tad optimistic about just ordering the above part! This is the horror I discovered after removing the wing. Question is, do I fabricate an 'arch' of plate to fill in between the ESM repair panel (http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/shopping_cart.php?osCsid=6fd0af8c70e90b21a2806e9...

Yep, that's better RP133L. Did not see it earlier--sure it wasn't there.

Rear Wing to 3/4 panel repair.

Having ploughed my way through most of this section, I have failed to find an answer to this query. I am about to replace my n/s/r wing, but it looks like the 3/4 panel which it attaches to at the front(2 door) will also need attention. Have also searched the ESM/Bull Motif panel sites and cannot fi...

Re: Transporting Minor by trailer to National Rally.

Comments like, 'What a Cheat' and 'Really can't see the point of taking a non-runner' insures the MMOC are really a bunch of Old Fa-ts.

Re: Transporting Minor by trailer to National Rally.

Oh dear, am I about to be blackballed from here then, as we too are trailering our Mog to my first National? Nothing to do with reliability, but as I have a motorhome with a towbar, it was always the plan to attend with that, as too old to start camping again--much as we enjoyed it in the past. Yes,...

Just came in late to this, and would only add the fan clearance issue to what has already been said.
I have deleted mine and will be fitting electric one.

Re: Blocked breathers; a cautionary tale.

That was how the Sonax product worked--I'll try it,Thanks.
The currently available Sonax stuff does work BTW, but the need to rinse with water is not required by me.
