photo request

Post by ndevans »

I'm rebuilding the loading bay of my 69 traveller, including the grey vinyl covering for the first time since we had the car.

I've looked in Ray Newell's Original Morris Minor & in Morris Minor-the world's Supreme Small Car by Paul Skilleter & neither have a good clear photograph showing the rear loading bay of a late traveller.

I'd be very grateful if someone here could either post one up or pm/email me one :D :D

cheers,
Neil

ps needs to be a late one, say post 67, as I believe some earlier ones didn't have the grey covering.....

Here's my 1963 one. It does have a grey textured vinyl covering:

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

Thanks Alex, however there are slight differences between yours and mine-yours doesn't have the grey vinyl on the back of the seat for instance, also only 2 aluminium bars on the floor.

cheers,
Neil

Hi Neil I think you are looking at the photo's incorrectly as Alex does have the covering on the rear of the seat it's in the down position I think you are looking at the upturned seat base by mistake and his load bay shows all 7 alloy strips 4 on the load bay and 3 on the seat backrest, however his armrest sections are different to the later cars.

On the same subject can someone post a photo of the lock mechanism on the drivers rear door as my latch appears to be bent inwards, I don't mean the verticle rod as I know that's supposed to be curved at the bottom to help pull everything into place against the rubber seals.
