Hi All
Prepping for an intended 4 week trip from NI to Sicily and back for the month of May. The steering ball joints are a wee bit slack. Any advice of best source for replacements?

Ian I wouldn't bother with the factory for S1 bits, you'll probably still be waiting next near Simon at Sifab, knows his stuff on Aero suspensions http://www.sifab.co.uk/

The legal requirement to retain spare parts service is 10 or 15 years I think. I said before, we need a life insurance policy on Simon 
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I find it difficult for spares on so many cars of this age
The exception seems to be Porsche and Mercedes’ that have their “Classic Department” just to service old stuff. Very useful
