Today I've been applying some extra Tectyl 506 under the front wings & running boards, ready for the spring.I also wanted to refit the long plate bracket on the nearside, which holds the running board in place, because it wasn't quite straight...........see below:  So I removed it - held by three setscrews and two self tapping screws. They all came out easily. I trimmed the edge, cleaned the surfaces and refitted, after applying Waxoyl on both sides. On the offside I wanted to apply Tectyl properly, so the exhaust had to come off. While I had access I thought I'd remove the bracket on this side. Interestingly, both screws had sheared and were only held in place by the underseal. These are quite thin coarse threaded screws, and a couple had sheared on Bumble when I did the same job. Although it's tempting to attempt to re-drill the hole, a screw stub in wood is never going to end well, and reasonably thin replacement screws do go in down the side of the broken screw. It's also a good chance to add a neoprene seal at the front to stop water and mud getting under the bracket. Below: This shows the offside bracket after replacement, and the neoprene plug at the front. I also added some heat resistant weave to the fuel pipes, because they are very close to the silencer. I did this job on my two previous Morgans.  I also cleaned up the brackets, which were already a bit scabby.............. Oh, and the aluminium skid plates are just to deflect road debris from the exhaust. They are already peppered with stone chips

Looks very good David and very helpful to Morgan users. I fitted stainless steel "U" bolts and brackets to stop any future problems. I have replaced 80% of nuts, bolts and washers to stainless steel in my Morgan

I assume you did not replace any suspension or brake system nut and bolt with stainless steel parts.

Another nice neat job, Dave. 
I have yet to find those brackets on the R100. They must be under there somewhere. Need to get the car up higher.
Working on a new clean car is a pleasure I'll bet.

Be interesting to see if the bobbins suffer advanced heat damage with the trapped reflected heat.
