What on earth was I dreaming? On the Mini Cooper installing the wiring not even took two evenings. I expected the same with the new loom for the Morgan. And here I am, working on it for almost two weeks now with little else to do. But slowly the parts I need are being delivered.... Continue Reading →
in and out – first loom trial fit
After trying out Visio to document the loom I got from Autospark I quickly became frustrated about the time this takes. So instead I would used the 1988 wiring diagram from GoMog as template and Paint.Net to just draw the changes. By mostly using copy and past of elements and a few new lines that... Continue Reading →
Boring, long summary of loom details…
This is really more a note for myself. A post that includes details that nobody will be needing unless they have a Morgan 4/4 built between 1982 and 1988 and buy a new loom from AutoSparks in the next couple of month. 🙂 Today I finally got hold of a friendly technician from AutoSparks. He... Continue Reading →
Heatshield
As it was super windy and loud outside today I figured that nobody will care about me making some noise in the garage. The left front wing can now be screwed on from beneath the car as I used drive-in nuts. Unfortunately I need to replace the ones I am using now again as the... Continue Reading →
December task list updates
My December task list wasn't necessarily the longest. But taking a few evenings "off" from the garage and building a new workbench last weekend have thrown me back a little. Time to catch up. I started off by removing the scuttle panel, steering wheel, dashboard and steering column again. As I am currently not planning... Continue Reading →
Heater mod for EzPowerSteering
A Morgan +8 and a 4/4 four seater built in 1984 share some components, But one of the things that is different is the bulkhead. When I visited Wolfgang, who sold me the EzPowersteering, I took a look at his really nice +8. The footwell part of the bulkhead is a bit shorter (approx 5cm)... Continue Reading →
mood down, teardown, lockdown
For the first time in the last couple months, I did not spend a minute in the garage last week. Work kept me busy until late afternoon all week. With Miffi (my Mini Cooper) and random stuff temporarily stored in the garage the space is limited. This results in moving stuff around for quite a... Continue Reading →
some panels back on
Last Thursday evening I was able to pick up all panels from the paint-shop. Everything is now protected with EP and the backside of the aluminum panel that go on the frame is painted in British Racing Green. Ok - we all know that there isn't a single BRG - there are many shaded. So,... Continue Reading →
Mr. Weber & I
Earlier this year I took the Weber 32/34 DTF4 A carb apart.At that point I did not have an ultrasonic cleaner and someone I know offered to clean it. It came back clean - but after a couple of days the surface started to change. Though I am still unsure I believe it is some... Continue Reading →
Frame on chassis and some next steps
Making new quarter panels and trial fitting them with the rear panels while the frame was off the chassis was good. However I came to the conclusion that to get the scuttle panel back on the frame needs to be on the chassis and the bulkhead attached. While it is not much the bulkhead pulls... Continue Reading →
