Friends of the Morgan ;
It is with sadness that I hear Fred even suggesting that he might
not do up another set of the "Bedside Reader "books . I know he is very
busy but I cannot imagine starting to rebuild a Morgan without this
particular book now that I have had use of it . I have also found it to be
very helpful for other auto maintanance as well .
Fred I hope you can find time to print up another
set of books even in it's present form , you cannot imagine how much I
relied on the information gained from that book . I bought probably 10 or
12 hard copy books(all I could find) from the shelf and nothing could
touch the " Bedside Reader ' for info . While I read and studied this book
I had many many choices on how I was to rebuild my own car . In many cases
updates that others had used where implemented ,knowing that they where
already proven . I know that not everyone gets involved as deeply as I ,
however this is one book that every Morgan owner can get a great deal use
from .
As I read many of the questions put to the forum I say to myself
, Why did I not have these questions ? I did , but I found the answers
in the ' Reader .
Fred you may remember that I received one of the first copies of
this last book . I tell you I will be forever greatful that you put out
this series , for me to use .At that time you wanted to make the updates
and did not know about the time you had available and I was afraid I would
be unable to get a copy.
The Moss
gearbox section is unbeatable (unless you can squeeze a guy in the book to
do the job ), the info on cooling is complete, the alternator from
generator article is excellent, overdrive in a Morgan , a challenge , it's
all there and much more . I think over 100 changes that you can see and
cannot see are in my car ,with guidance from this book .I have regretted
none and accept the responsiblity for the work done .It is a shame that you
have to worry about liability for the work of others when you know the
recommendations work well .
Fred thank you again for your efforts putting out a book that helped me
make my car what it is . I hope some day we can meet and I can show you
some of these changes that have made my Morgan a great pleasure to own and
drive .
Trust you will find time to reprint the" Bedside Reader " so
others who have just found the joys of the Morgan can keep them runnin'
and keep them in top shape .
