Bit of an update.
Cheekily I went to Buckley Tyres this morning and found the oldest looking fitter I could. Asked him if he remembered John (the ex owner who sold out to Protyre) and his Morgan. Yes he did and he still sees John from time to time. Does he still have the balancing cones, yes he did. Does he know how to use them, yes he does. They kept them at Johns insistence for balancing his wires.
All seems well. forgot to ask if they still know how to jack the Morgan and remove the wires. Am I paranoid??
Also
Checking the tyres and they all seem to be getting on a bit (10 years) but are still soft and have loads of tread. I'm inclined to change them for Toyo Proxies, which I had on the MX5 and they were fine, about £75 per corner fitted. Balancing the wires would cost £12 per corner so the additional outlay would be £62 per corner.
hmmm...
