I've had the sidescreen bag propped up against the garage wall for almost two years. Suddenly it hit me that by using a wire coathanger, slightly modified, I could hang it under a shelf.




Swiftly moving on, and making best use of the Wickes 'bracket selection box', I screwed a couple of U brackets into the shelf, and hung the winter half tonneau cover over a parasol we bought at Bournemouth last year to fight off torrential rain..............




More brackets and the (leather) hood cover is stored. I used a couple of 'Blacks' camping mat elastic strips to hold this in place. An anti-flop measure. The brown paper is there to prevent scuffs from the brickwork. The rod is a chrome pipe (shower curtain rail).


And finally the full tonneau cover. More brown paper which holds itself in place due to the curliness.



And that is a DaveW Storage Solution Top Tip. grin2

I use Pick'n'mix, according to the weather. The Mog usually has the Twillfast hood cover and home made quarter tonneau cover, with a small storm cover behind the seats. The rest is used as required, so for Friday at Buxton I took the winter half tonneau cover so the passenger seat didn't get wet.

Just think my stuff just sits on the back shelf of the car, the garage shelf or on the back rack.

Mr Dave you are making me feel inadequate as a Morgan owner! rofl
Keep up the good work

I was just looking at your practical solutions for all those Morgan loose ends and was just thinking that your care of car and accessories was unending.
My wife however, on the next computer was not so impressed.
Some people just don't understand what life is all about.
