There is supposed to be metal from the scuttle there! It has broken out as
they all seem to do through the years. The only thing to do (short of
having a new scuttle made) is to make a rectangular plate of the right size,
mount it under the bonnet hinge end and caulk the remaining space with TRV.
You could weld it in, but you have probably already painted the car.
Re the seat belts, on our 4-seater Drophead, we mounted the belt ends to the
metal tray under the bottom of the seat. Not the ultimate way to do it but
probably sufficient to keep them from bouncing out and adequate for anything
survivable in a Morgan anyway. Be sure the tray (and its frame)is securely
bolted in.
Good luck,
Gerry

Subject: trim? question
I am getting ready to have the ole girl repainted 67 +4 four seater. I
may
not explain this very well, but here goes. I have gaps between where
the
bonnet closes against the car. Morgan spares sent me the cloth "tape"
looking
stuff, and I see where that is to go, but I also know something is
missing.
It looks like something rubber should go in there. That is just a guess,
but
I would really appreciate any help ya'll could give. Right now, if it
rains,
or I wash the car, water goes down into the interior. When I look under
the
dash, I can actually see up out of the hole that is in the middle of
where
the bonnet opens. I hope this makes some sense.
Thank you!!!
Kat
