How to fit yourself into a Morris engine bay...
Sorry for long life pause - got some time on the Morris today - simple task - pull the engine ready for strip and rebuild and take the turret off..
Actually the turret is destined for my lounge as a coffee table during and after restoration while it waits for the hull to catch up.
After lots of fastener soaking the radiator pack yielded along with the engine mounts and the overhead crane and balance bar could be bolted up. I spent the whole afternoon in the engine bay perched on the axle diff housing. Most of the old Whitworths came free easily. A long discussion was had wether to run the starter motor as the original 6V or rewind for 12V.. It almost made it onto an engine stand - not enough variety in the length or size of the bolt options - will get it done and bring it home next time.
The hull will be heading here to its permanent housing soon - to make room in the main "runner" barn of a friend for a Fox, to accompany the Mk1 Carrier and the Daimler Armored Car.
Ill stay on the updates more frequently now and provide more photos as they are compiled from various phones and cameras.
Time to go trickle charge the Mk2 Carrier in my barn :)
