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?

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/

I don’t know of any manufacturers that would actively maintain stock for a car they haven’t made for 20 years

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 thumbs


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

To the best of my knowledge it’s only 7 years…

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
