Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Aero 8, 2012< Plus 8, SuperSports, Coupe & Aeromax Aero progress.. and a new roof!

Haha let me know how it goes, I was going to get Shaun to do it so if it is a tight fit he can sort it




I'd be more worried about holding it together!

. Does a plastic lover work out cheaper than a human one.

Not much progress in a while, but thought I would update with a job I did manage to sort..refitting the wipers and washers ready for the MOT - which I forgot about until the day of the test!
Luckily my giant arms and hands were able to do the job single-handedly, having long arms did actually help for once as I needed one hand under the dash and one over the top to do the OS washer, albeit it was a faff..

First things first, protection


And lubrication..


Just a few things needed to condition the rubber, clean the seals, and polish the arms.


Polished (bottom) vs not yet Polished (top)


Refitted with some new wiper blades (at £50 a set! )


And finally awaiting the test, which of course it passed with no advisories!


Next on the list is some new rubber, and a wheel refurb before the last bits of bodywork get sorted - maybe I will even get it done this year.

Looks fab - where did you get the roof?

Now that is a long story, have a read of the thread if your interested but in effect managed to find one after a lot of searching. Took a huge amount of work to get it up to standard though, as detailed in this thread a bit earlier.

Speaking of the hardtop I did actually take her out for a quick drive as well, very pleased with it as there was absolutely no booming or noise from it at all. The raptorcoat and leather seem to have cured that particularly common problem!

Looking good Nick, all that work on the Hardtop was well worth it, love the stance of the Mog with it fitted

The Aeros look so good with a hard top.

Looks well cool Nick

Thanks everyone.

Are you able to get the windscreen wipers to actually rest/end sweep on the glass or do they "park" on the trim/body?

Mine park on the trim and it shreds the rubbers and drives me just a little bit nuts.
