Might be worth a word with this guy, summersupholstery.co.uk, after 43 years at MMC there can’t be much he doesn’t know about Morgan trimming.

From the email I had the pertinent section is as follows
"....We can make new hoods for the Aeros but I’m afraid that the original glass cannot be re-used and replacements are not available. The problem is that the glass was originally prebonded into a section of mohair hooding material which was then used in the construction of the complete hood. It is not possible to cut out the old glass and rebond it into new Mohair – it’s a specialist job requiring specialist equipment and the company (BAS) who did the job originally for Morgan have no interest in remaking these sections of the hood........." May be worth a direct call to BAS, they were very helpful to me when I needed to buy some Mohair direct, the chap certainly knew of MMC when we chatted & said they had cut off links to them as unhappy with some factory trading ethics

I had a new hood fitted at the factory but they couldn't fit a glass window, still have the glass one and hoped to have it refitted. If anyone finds someone who can fit it please let me know. I don’t get why the glass can’t be refitted. Is the glass bonded to the frame/hood or the rubber surround it sits in? I’m worried that I’ll have forgo my glass window for the sake of half decent weatherproofing

So I spoke to Shaun today, appears to have been some confusion which he has straightened out. So he said the information pertaining to BAS is correct (mostly) but its only applicable to MK1.5 hoods onwards, (i.e. Pram style with glass). The earlier gangster roof with the glass can be re-used.

James James, He didn't.. although from experience I reckon it will be a couple of thousand from previous conversations. Their website does list prices https://allonwhite.co.uk/morgan-car-interiors-trimming but I cannot see Aero 8 listed oddly! Best bet is to give them a call or I can ask for you when I pop in later to pickup some samples?
