Went to Cain yesterday for a service, right rear brake cylinder seized this is the 3rd one in ten years. Funny, it’s usually the left hand side that catches all the roadside puddles. It was the last 2 times, this time the right side was rusted solid. Surprisingly it passed the MOT not long ago.

Started it! Fired right up after a long winter's nap. Need a new ignition switch, however as this one is intermittent. It doesn't switch on every time I turn the key...

Replaced my bonnet badge today, and am pleased with the result. It wasn't straight forward though, as most things Morgan aren't. The curve of the badge was greater than the original/bonnet. That was cured by placing the retaining screws between the gap between my decking planks and pressing it as flat as I could get it. Leaving a slight spring, which went when the nuts were tightened. The bolts could have been a little longer, to make putting the nuts on a bit easier, but the result below looks much better. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2023/06/01/PXL_20230601_144547167.jpeg) Did mine today. I have been searching for a pre-2009 cowl badge for the past 2 years. This one is the opposite to Leroy's, i.e. mine was supplied flat and I had to bend it carefully to match the cowl curvature. The fixing bolts were the right length. (Had to go for an evening drive through the New Forest, to test it). ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2023/06/14/Cowl-badge-14-6-23.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2023/06/14/Beaulieu-14-6-23.jpeg)

Car up on ramp for another greasing session. Front suspension all tickety boo although kingpin/bush wear noticeable both sides before greasing. Confirmed that top caliper bolt can be undone with ¾"AF socket despite close proximity to main spring.
When kingpin/bush renewal takes place this winter it's nice to know I will be able to at least loosen calipers in situ, as there would be no purchase when stripped down.

Coincidentally I googled 'Morgan with a bimini' this afternoon....!
I was going to ask on here if anyone had got one, made one or had one made.
I know a trimmer locally so I might give them a go.

Tidied up the door sill upholstery, tacked it in place, finished the installation of the new Intatrim seats, and took it out for a quick spin. All is good with the world...
