Well a little update
Tonight I did two of the scariest things I've ever done on the Morgan
First was removing the metal mirror fixing off the windscreen by taking a jet lighter to heat it up until the glue melted and I could remove it
Pleased to say it worked like a dream and it left just a tiny bit of glue which came off easily with a little gentle scrape and some lighter fluid
Next was removing the dash so I could drill the scuttle to fit the dash mounted mirror
It was very, very scary particularly when I removed the screws and it wouldn't budge so I had to deploy increasingly firm leverage to break it free
In the end I made sure it wasn't attached anywhere else, plucked up a bit more courage and pulled it hard !!
Pleased to say the mirror is now on and firm fastened with bolts through the scuttle forward of the dash held firm by captive nuts and washers

If you really want to celebrate your success Stewart you could try a Kir Royale - Creme de cassis with champagne,
