the spare wheel on the Roadster Sports is a space-saver wire wheel Oh dear. A space saver spare wheel, on a Morgan. Are you sure? It looks full size on the factory photos. Nigel

Hi Ivo,
Treads are not really useless, but you are right about water collection. You have to be careful because these treads are fixed with standard steel coach bolts, so after a while this assembly generates a catalytic phenomenon between the aluminium of the wing and the steel.
I reinstalled with the S/S button bolts, plastic washers, nylocs and “Duralac” to avoid catalyse. In addition I used silicone between treads and wing to avoid retaining water. Up to know it works and I am no longer using air gun to dry the water after every washing. Of course it is longer to remove and reinstall treads, because as I didn’t find so small S/S coach bolt, button bolts don’ have square cup, so I have to remove the rubber from the rail, screw each bolt and reinstall rubber, but when you like…
Best regards.
Daniel.
Thanks Daniel, Another job for my list. (02 +8) I'm getting electrolysis corrosion on both my doors, in both cases by the higher sidescreen mount. I'm not to sure why there and nowhere else. Damp side screens providing the necessary "electrolyte" is my only theory. Door respray + Duralac required soon Brian

Nigel I'm very sure, it was one of the differences pointed out by Matt (Humphries) on the Roadster Sport. It was the definitive car on the Geneva stand so as someone else has pointed out, there are some changes between it and the factory photos. I'm afraid that's about par for MMC.  Brian

How do you remove the rubber from the rail. Is is just "squeezed" in, and does it come out easily? How is it put back in?

Thinner wheels are easier to do burn-outs with anyhow...
They do have benefits.

They do have benefits. Yeh, but a lot less clever if you're stuck on a mountain road in Mid Wales in late afternoon/evening and the nearest tyre depot ( if open) could well be more than 50 miles away!  Cheers G
