I dropped my Sport off at Mike Duncan's this morning to have the axle ratios changed. It started to rain so I put the hood up and saw Ben wince as I pulled the over centre swivels down to tension it........he said he saw the top rail of the windscreen flex back by half an inch or so
He doesn't like the swivels and thinks they may contribute to screens eventually cracking. Its the first time i've used the hood for a while and it was noticeably stiffer with the colder temperature which probably didn't help.
There was a rather nice X reg silver Plus 8 in for service fitted with a Simmonds hood. The first time I've had a good look at his hoods and I was quite impressed.
Not sure I can justify the expense but the mohair looked nice and I liked operation of it.
Something totally off topic........in all the years I've had cars I actually feel quite bereft with a garage empty of my Morgan. I've never felt that way before!
