Default Morris C8

Been doing a bit of carpentry and thought I would post some pictures, I have installed some side supports since the pictures were taken and now in the process of sealing the timber ready for paint. Will post some on completion of paint prior to making the tailgate, need some hinges which I hope to purchase at Gympie swap this Saturday.

Paul, thinking about your quest for some tailgate hinges, do you have a picture of them? I have a set of spare Humber hinges which may do the trick.

Dave.

Default Hinges

Thanks Dave I got three hinges which have suited the tailgate very nicely, they cost $1 each at Gympie swap. I had to modify the gudgeon pins to fit but all worked out in the end. Just have to fit the canvas stay's today I hope, I had them from my first champ restoration(why they came with the champ is any ones guess) and as always never throw anything away. Next job is the hoops for the canvas.

Default Canvas Cover

Does any one know where I can purchase the canvas cover that goes over the gear stick/ gearbox filler and starter in the cab of the C8? It's to far to take it to the guy that normally does my canvas and I have made inquiry's in the UK at Worthings and the London bomb disposal team. Will have to take some update photos tomorrow if I get a chance as the hoops for the canvas are finished, looks good.
