And from ALISTAIR ROSS:
Dear Martin, Apologies if I’m repeating whats gone before on the DHMC wing nuts, I have modified some commercially available nuts that are not to far from the original. Attached is a word document that may help. ttfn…Alistair. See PDF attached.
And, from DAN PAUL: “I can’t find any door seals for a Morris Minor that look anything like the seals on my DHMC or on your engineering diagram. Morris seals look like a completely different draft extrusion. Not saying it won’t work, but doesn’t have the same profile at all as the originals. I agree, having looked in more depth, with Sven’s comments that its a rubber coated foam extrusion”.
From Andrew Musgrave: “I’ve taken some photos (below) of some of the fittings on my Hardtop. Some will be original but some may be aftermarket but are still old! I have also attached a photo of the side fitting bolts/machine screws that I have. On the right is an original, in the center is one purchased from Austin Healey spares several years ago and on the left is one currently available from bugeyeguyparts.com in the US. The windscreen seal is an all in one design as on the illustrations already on your website, the rear deck seal is probably not original but worked. The headlining was thin yellow foam with a white channeled fabric on top. My hardtop number is 328 if you want to add me to your list of owners, keep up the good work, cheers Andrew Musgrave”

Hi Martin,The door seal and clips pictured in the article on the hardtop is the same as the original seal and clips on the Morris Minor, just in case the person who wrote the article didn’t know. Available in numerous colours from Morris Minor spares supplies. Regards Keith (Luck)
