Boot lock I think has become detached.

Turns half a turn then that’s it and feels like it’s loose.

I’m sure this is a common failing.

Can anyone remember how to operate it? Fairly sure it’s a case of drilling a hole behind the number plate area.

Anyone know exactly where and what to do?

Many thx

Are we talking S1 viper?

I am happy to take some photos of the inside of my S2 but that clearly has the pregnant aero boot compared to an S1.
If you want some just send me a PM with your email address or whatapp number and i can send them.


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

Viper. If you have to replace I think it was off a triumph spitfire the spring has a nasty habit of detaching itself. Em
