The frustrations of the day will hopefully drift away with the scrumpy Graham.

After returning from Prescott today, I thought I might get some peace to get on with various bits a pieces, but it has been one of those days... Bonnet latches are riveted - OK there's a fix, put them on hold for the moment. Reverse light has died, change bulb (old one definitely stuffed) to find no power to reverse light - wiring check required. OK, no worries, interior mirror is losing its bond to windscreen, have a Librands replacement (but it looks as though the instructions may be in the file that went with RTA when I sold it - need to find new instruction sheet). Right, final shot, fit Ian's (Wirewheel) round mirrors - can I get the damn plastic caps off the lower arms (without breaking), NO.  Oh well, bucket, sponge, followed by some polish then... Now on the scrumpy  There must be something in the air today, I'm working on fitting my hardtop ready for the next Rally  To fit Hardtop the windscreen studs need to come off..... Note to all, 4/4 Sport studs are Silver soldered and not bolted  repair and sulk!!! So I've finished my cad drawing for the Riveted Latch brackets so they can be made and finished making a pair of custom bonnet length stays. So now I'm off to buy some Abbott Ale from the local Inn to follow in Grahams footsteps  I would also like to thank every one for the good feed back. As for the instructions, proof reading went to Michele (other half), Jay's and Aldermog so thank you one and all

Does have the Morgan Crack but is still serviceable.

Just fitted a set of Cain's Bonnet Stays, superb bit of kit, well made and easy to fit.
Many Thanks Cain.

Just in the middle of fitting a pair to a 1995 +8. This does require the retainer bracket to be moved from the suggested position. I've e-mailed Cain with details. Despite this minor problem they are very good.

Thanks Guys for all the impute we now have brackets for the Riveted and 2 screw Bonnet Latch as well as the 3 Screw Bonnet Latch, and the Aldermog special slotted Stay retainer bracket for some V6's.
I will be amending the fitting instructions to include an alternative position for the Stay retainer bracket to some older model Mog's as the front catch is further back and some unmolested cars have painted wing securing bolts.
Once again thank you all
