Bob
Having followed your progress on your restoration for sometime now, I know
you are dedicated to an exact restoration. I believe the door panels of the
early sixties were held to the door wood with nails not screws. No washers
was used under the nails The nails had a habit of working there way out
over time and would catch your clothes as you entered or exited the car.
Many people solved this problem by replacing the nails with oval head wood
screws and a finishing washer.
A Wilborn type who was playing with Morgans in the 60's might wish to
correct me on this matter.
Tonight I will go up to the "Garage Attic with more Morgan Parts than Anyone
Person Should be Allowed to Have" ( the GAWMMPAPSAH) and see if my old
spares door has the proper nails. I may also have a spare filler cap for
you.
