Tim Rebuild your original box! You’ll be better off keeping her as original as possible. The hardest part about rebuilding the steering box is getting it out of (and back in) the vehicle – the rest is easy.

Rob I’m currently restoring a Mk II for a customer here in the U.S. Parts, at least in the States, are impossible to find. Generally, if I need a part I make it from scratch. While I’m at it – has anyone out there heard of, or seen, a Perkins P6 used in a Morris? I can’t find any engine parts and the owner is looking into changing out the engine with this engine.

Call off the dogs! Thanks to the great help found here, I’ve been able to cross this information to a US Federal Standard Number. Looks like I need FS34098 for the base armor color. Now its off to the paint supply store. :lol: Thanks for all the help!!!!

Clive and Richard Thanks this is what I’m needing! I want to get her as close to original as possible. I have made many notes on the colors found under brackets – this is some of what I’ve found: Brackets of and on armor – OD Green Brackets of and on sheet metal in the engine bay – silver The engine its self – seems to be more of a Kelly Green Inside the crew compartment – I’ve found both silver (on most of the brackets) AND green on the inside of the driver’s seat slide. :shock: I even have some of the original head padding for the driver so I can have that made. I have samples of every US color used in WWII and nothing comes close. I thought if I could get a British number I could use one of several cross reference charts on the web and have the color made. Thanks for the help

Thanks Tyler for the reply, but the problem isn’t where to get the paint but what color to get. I need the paint color codes or the proper names that I can trace down. Thanks

I’m restoring a 1941 Morris LRC Mark II. I’ve been searching for the proper paint color codes for both the exterior and interior. Anyone out there know what the color codes are for this vehicle? Thanks

Greetings to all I’m new to this group but not to MVs. I live and work in a small town in Indiana, USA. I have a growing restoration and repair business for MVs, older Willys, and just this year starting to stock and sell parts. In fact, it’s a customer’s vehicle that brought me to this forum. I’m restoring a 1942 Morris LRC Mark II. Now, lets find out just who knows what this vehicle is! And, I’m looking for parts. Looking forward to conversing with other MVers in far away places.
