It was big & very turboey. I'm never sure about those lights -I've forgotten what make they are. Loony will know as he follows trends far more than I do. They're much sought after by the guys who want all the correct period accessories, so probably horrendously expensive. Personally I always think they look very modern, like projector beam units, rather than vintage looking. This was quite a big car, with very tall bodywork, but I think the Moggy bonnet idea will work very nicely on your lightweight little Special Dave.

Not planning on using those light on this build. Going for something either integrated or agricultural. Not made up my mind yet Bit of a catch 22 situation. To sort out the rear body I need to position the seats. To fix the position of the seats it would be helpful to sort out the steering column But then until I know where the seats are ...... Made a guess at it all and have lengthened the column. Not finally welded so changes can be made but it's pressed together so tight it will be a real #### to take apart (made a label so I don't forget to weld). While the box was apart , I noticed the cam follower peg was worn, so a new one promptly made and pressed into place. Now free play at steering wheel is under an inch. That might sound a lot but it's a big wheel. May re bush the box sometime.

Wondered about doing the same thing with the steering box in my Pop Dave. 2 inches of free play, but I'm told it's normal & the VOSA guy was quite happy with it, but driving it's definitely an acquired taste!

Think the pop has worm and gear. The Morris has a Bishop Cam steering box.

You mean things like, steering that has a mind of it's own, tall skinny crossplys that are never quite round with suspect grip levels, suspension from an ox cart, uncomfortable, draughty, noisy, oily,.................. ? Oh such fun! May have a bit of a problem. With the seats and steering wheel roughly in place, I realise that while I will be able to get in ok, getting out again might be a problem ( unless someone has a 'sky hook' I can use ). Just too old and stiff, so may have to fit doors Hopefully make them so that they are not to obvious, but it would add complication.

Now that really would add complication. Looks like I wont have to re bush the steering box housing after all. Just bought a new one on evil bay.
