I have tried all over to purchase a 36 inch brass zip for the tonneau cover of my 1978 4/4 with no success in the UK. Today I went online on the interweb and found a company in the USA that sells brass zips up to 8 feet long!Not that I needed one that long, 36 inches is all I need, with postage and packing £21.47.I did find a company in the UK that wanted to charge me £50 and no P/P !! http://www.zippershipper.com/I do not have any connection with this company. Hope some of you with older Morgans might find this usefull! Regards Max

Only £27.50 to fit a new heavy brass Zip... Bsrbour Service My jacket dates from 1986, has had a number of repairs including a new Zip and is still waterproof. It looks "lived in"...!

Wish I'd known about that service 15/20 years ago when my sleeveless jacket was suffering from years of (ab)use. Didn't need a zip, but the lining and some of the stitching was really suffering. In the end it went in the bin, but the replacement (not Barbour) isn't a patch on the old jacket...
