Looks great Ian :wow: !

Made some progress on the interior of the cabin. Seats back in place, gearbox cover on the floor and a trial fit for the engine cover.

Started to put the door hinges back on there place ( on the existing holes for the screws) but I think the front edge of the door sticks out to match !

Will need to look what's wrong with these hinges, if I leave it like it is there is a change that the postmen thinks it is a letter box .

Will need to fabricate a new door skin for the driver door, this side is to bad. Not yet decided if I will also make a new door skin for the passenger side.

Here some extra pictures from the switchboard No.1, it's a 550 Watt type.

What does the data plate say please on your Charging Panel. Looks a bit small to be a 1250 watt one.

Think it's 700 Watt, will check and post some pictures tomorrow.

Hello Jerry.

When I started on this C4 there where still two turn button clips left on the passenger bulkhead , at first I didn't know there use but after a bit of investigation it seems that these where there to fit the passenger back rest . you still can see the fitting holes for the two missing turn buttons.

Did some repairs on the drivers seat, had to weld the rear cross bar on the base of the seat rails .

Modified the passenger seat back to original, in the past they fitted a back rest on to the seat but normally there is a cushion for the passenger fitted on the rear of the cabin.

I am not sure if the wooden pieces under the passenger seat or in the right position, is there someone that can come up with a picture go these must be fitted to the floor? :undecided:

Passenger seat before back to original.

Is the wood under the passenger seat on the right location ?? I think they need to move a bit to the front .

Are these the right type for a post-war bike ?

Passenger side petrol tank back in place , now I need to paint the tool box in front of the petrol tank as soon as the sandblaster is reddy with it .

The cabin is also back on to its place and had a trial fit for the drivers seat , and at first glance the cabin looks so small.

This is a big difference to my Bedford QL as on these as a driver you have a nice place to do the job.

Also had a look how the doors will fit , these came from France completely striped , will make new door skins and have a good look to reassemble the hinges.

The new old stock petrol tank filler filter from Norway will be of some use , pity that I had to remove the part number tag on it.

I have a pair , will post some pictures tomorrow !

Drivers side newly made petrol tank back in place , had to lengthen the home made fitting straps as these where a bit to short . The original tanks were fitted with felt in between the straps and the tank and the rubber I used is a bit thicker so there must been a difference in length.

But of the original straps there was not match left over to make a template and to measure these up.

Battery box lid also in to place , tomorrow we move to the other side of the C4.

The collection of radio bits for the rear starts to grow , now only need to find the remains of a No.1 MK3 house type wireless body. :undecided:

Still have a pair in the workshop for you Ian , think these are the ones for your other trailer . on the picture are the ones for my trailer as the edge is a bit different .

Guy.

The mudguard after some serious panel beating and made the missing battery box lid.

Think you will need to make it yourself ! That's the rear one I made for my 3HW

Nice puzzling with the miring loom, a pity they don't make a model for my Morris C4. This will be home work then.

I fitted a loom from auto sparks on my QL and fitted without problems, Just have a good look in the workshop wiring diagram !

Guy

ACE classics has the rear wheel spindle for sale without the bearings. The specific bearings front and rear for 3SW and 3HW are very difficult to find .

Guy

In full swing on the mudguards, a lot of work on the passenger side mudguard.

The weather was very kind today so I could do some spray work ! Painted the sides off the bonnet and some small bits.

Painted the complete starting handle mechanic and the front cross bar where the mudguards are fitted to, just had a trial fit for the drivers side mudguard and the fitting looks almost good. This side will only need a small bit of welding but the other side (passenger) will need some serious work as it was severely bent. Picture from the passenger side before strip down by previous owner.

Bonnet top in black paint for the Mickey Mouse camouflage and now I need to paint the sides, first in green and then apply the black rounds .

Had to make the front bonnet brass hinge as this was missing on the C4.

I am still looking for 1 side spring that holds the bonnet down, I have 3 of these . So only missing one, I can swap with springs that I have for Bedford MW.

Made also the lock for the side box and fitted the petrol filter that came from Norway with some other new old stock parts.

The fuel system was modified on this Morris to a traditional French petrol pump but al the fitting holes where still on the right location for a autovac system, so we will put it back to autovac system. I like to have it original .

As there is a ELA type engine on this late C4 there is a provision on the side off the engine block to use a mechanical petrol pump.

Nice patch work Peter, for sure the plate work on British trucks is thin. But these things were not made to last more than 70th years.

Guy:laugh:

Great work as usual Guy.

10 years ago I new where there were 5 bodies of the type you need including 3 in a row in a scrap yard. They have all been scraped now.

Peter.

For sure Peter , with the passing of time the situation don't improve . It looks a bit like the rear section of my QL, think it will be home work. :undecided:

The very bad tool box is back in business, after some welding work it looks again as new.

Welded the side covers on it with gas welding as original, now just some fixing holes to drill and al this stuff can be sandblasted.

Now I can start to make the little door for the battery box.

super work Guy, keep it up, had any chance to measure the box for the back yet ?

Had a lead to a vehicle with a little modified radio box on it , but this type vehicle never was made with this kind of radio box and the owner wanted to put the vehicle back to original and was thinking to take the box of the chassis.

And now the bad news, the person sold the vehicle as it was with the box on it to a new owner .

Hopefully this new owner is also looking to bring the vehicle back to original so the box will be surplus to him?

But I made contact with the owner of the Morris C4/WT here in Belgium and had a look last Saturday at his truck.

Guy

reconditioned the carburettor , needed new gaskets , some recoils for broken treads and a very good clean.

Collected also the plate work to repair the side tool box.

Little toolbox ready , made the hinging lid and made a pair off support extensions for the big tool box on the same side of the Morris.

Tomorrow I will start to repair the big box as it is in a sorry state.

Hello , do you think that the electric junction box will be in the same position on a Morris C4 ?
