It's a funny thing this aversion to drilling holes in the car - we presumably don't balk at the walls or floors of our homes? I've never been pestered to put shelves up in the Morgan

Morgan drill quite a few holes in the chassis, don't they? I don't suppose they give them much treatment. I suspect that the Morgan chassis will outlast my ownership so I'm not too worried.

I recall thinking the same when the Wheeler Dealers episode was on.

Hi John, what style of bolts are you using for bolting the front wngs to the body. On 4/4 someone has used very, very long slotted flat head bolts. I intend to use Stainless Steel of the correct length, but would like to replicate the factory style

This for brake reaction bars. I understood when I got them for my old +4 they are designed to shear if you crash as the front is a crumple zone. They come I assume with the bars

I've just ordered a set (together with a panhard rod kit) so I'd be interested in views. Well worth the investment...basically tightens everything up and feels more 'secure'. Reaction Bars not a difficult job (I just painted on some black hammerite in bare holes), Panhard rod is not difficult but getting underneath to bolt the Panhard rod is easier if you have a lift or pit (I don't and meant leaning over into the rear axle area after removing tool tray).

I fitted Reaction bars to my Plus 8 when I prepared it for racing. Significant difference under heavy braking, no juddering through steering wheel. Recommend.
Was advised not to bother with aftermarket panhard rod, the effects would be minimal.
