In reply to all the messages I wanted to ensure you were fully aware of the condition of the parts
If you are interested then there is a priority list for those that have indicated an interest first. If they decide the part(s) are not for them then I will offer to the next in line or back to the forum
Bonnet - this has been in a shed at the bottom of the garden. I managed to extract it today and take a closer look. There are no hinges but the bolts and the catches are present.
Although the skin appears good there is a small amount of cracking the reinforcement but hasn’t extended to the skin. This with correct prep could easily be repaired by v prepping and then welding ideally by gas but mig or tig should work well. The seams look good and I’ve taken several pics of that area. I haven’t tried to dress this up, just privide the facts for you to decide.

Brakes
I have a near side and offside front brake assembly, one of which has a caliper still attached. The assembly needs blasting or wire brushing. There appears no wear ridge on the discs and I may disassemble and bead blast as I need new discs. If you want the whole assembly then I may just let these go and offweigh against a new set. The advantage is you can strip, Blast/brush, prepare and paint before swapping with your own. The backplates on these are shot- sorry Kishor!
There are a number of rear drums, one has already gone. They all need cleaning but again no wear ridge. Bead/brush clean and I reckon good to go with a flap disc bring the friction surface up. One of the drums has a chip, probably from over enthusiastic removal. Doesn’t affect operation. However the hubs are all intact so a new drum can be sourced and pressed onto the hub for a cheaper solution
There are also backplates one of which is the 1969 version with the rotary adjuster. I’ve taken a pic of the components and I think the still assembled hub is the other one.

Hi,

I need some door corner chromes for my 1968 P1800. The little bit near the outside handle that wraps around to the inside. Mine are missing, I don't suppose you have any for sale?.....

Hi Russ,

Thanks,
Gordon

That's an interesting post Gordon, does it mean that you are coming back on the scene? Perhaps you have finished the Morris Minor...........................

[Gordon Hunter]

Hi Derek,

Great to hear from you. Yes, Morris Minor finished last year and have been busy putting together a new workshop since. Just acquired a '67 P1800 S in awful shape so lots of fun metalwork ahead!
As well as the bonnet, O/D gearbox, radiator, dash & gauges and several other parts are on the shopping list.
