Agreed, even from remote South Africa, Roy's posts and pragmatic insights were always a pleasure to read and was invaluable advice for MM owners here.
RIP Roy & condolences to all friends & family,
Erwin

Re: Doors back in car; with or without upper half/glas ?
I'm pretty sure that's what I did.... hang the doors, bolt up tight enough so there is no movement, but expect to do a final adjustment when all is assembled. This gives a convenient working height environment to enable you to do all the tricky assembly of all the other parts!

Re: And the windscreen suddenly went bang...
Yes I thought so too... although EMS said they have never had a problem unless the delivery truck backed over the box :o To be fair, it was packed quite well and unless you dropped it from a height the screen would most likely not contact the outside of the box which is probably a fair test for pack...

Re: And the windscreen suddenly went bang...
Yes, as always EMS has great customer service.
They used an oversized cardboard box filled with plenty of bubble wrap and cardboard offcuts. FEDEX did the shipping (don't ask what that cost )
I reused the 'old' rubber and locking strip since they were still in good 'nick'

Re: And the windscreen suddenly went bang...
Report back -
New screen (from EMS) fitted today, went in reasonably easily. Cost GBP 20 for fitment. Used silicon spray as lube.
Hope this one stays in a little longer!

Re: Speedo works OK BUT Odometer will not
Here (about halfway down the thread) are some pics what happened to my speedo and how to fix it.

Re: doing the distance
Don't forget the spare windscreen!
(don't ask me why the photo keeps getting inverted. If I invert the original then it does not invert, so the result is the same upside-down car)

Re: And the windscreen suddenly went bang...
Thanks all for the response. Last year when I did fit the new rubber I used a "professional" team (father & 2 sons) that came out to the house. The father had definitely had prior experience inserting Morris type windscreens, and with the 3 of them they got the screen in without too mu...

And the windscreen suddenly went bang...
After 1 year of happy motoring... I was trundling along to work this morning and suddenly the windscreen shattered with a thud. Ordinary coolish 19C ambient temperatures. I don't think it was hit by anything... it is a very symmetric series of cracks. No evidence of an object striking the screen. Ru...

MMmo, It took me about 3 months, lots of cleaning & scraping & preparation, and as Chesney says, measuring & remeasuring..... I also had to do some fettling of the legs (the were too long at the rear where it braces against the centre X member) and I cut back about 2-3mm if I recall. I d...

Re: how's your legs??
Here's mine before and after. I had also driven 150 mile with the leg in that state :oops: The RHS leg was very rotten at least half its length up front (you can see some of the welding patches from the PO). The LHS was bad also, as was the front X member. They were the original legs and I replaced ...

Re: Brake light switch
OK will do.
Please can one of the the moderators delete this thread to prevent any litigation due to brake light failure in the event someone installs a relay.
Thanks
