rampant rivet Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi All Having had no luck finding an early pair of side engine panels for my MW bedford restoration I am going to make a pair myself, my problem is that I need dimensions of the mesh and opening in the panel to enable me to replicate them accurately, is there anyone out there who would be willing to allow me visit take pics and lots of measurements. I don't know anyone local with early panels so though I'd put an SOS on here. Cheers jeremy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampant rivet Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 That's very kind of you Maurice could you ship it to me I will cover the cost of course :-D:-D I found a article in wheels and tracks from years ago in which you are featured, looks like you owned an MW before you had a drivers license .

Sean N Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Jeremy, before Maurice sends you his (with the attendant risk) is it worth talking to someone like Chris Morter? A parts specialist might be glad to help you out in return for drawings / patterns / a supply source if they know you're going to the effort of replicating it?

Have spoken to Chris concerning production of early panels but he requires an original panel as he has no engine panels as such although he has had later ones reproduced recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
