OK, so maybe the talc thing isn't a thing. It's good to know that there's about a hour of working time before the CA turns to stone. So how do you apply the accelerator? I tried using the sprayer but that 'fogged' the rest of the plastic, now I just try to get a few drops off of the bottom of the spray tube or off of a toothpick onto the puddle of CA.

Mark,
I also tried the pump when I 1st used it. The stuff went everywhere. Not only does it leave a residue, but you waste more of it then you use.

You get the best results by not actually letting the accelerator touch the CCA glue. I use a micro brush that's just damp from the accelerator, not soaking wet. I then wave it over and as close to the CCA glue as I can get it without touching it. Works like a charm.

Hi Warren

Could you post a photo of the inside of the doors, because the detail on the Airfix kit is so shallow, it's pretty useless. Whether I can do any better is another matter, but it would be great to know what it should look like.

Also - the dashboard, so that I can try to source some semi-suitable dials from my stash of aircraft (Hiss! Boo! LOL!) decals.

All the best

Rowan,
All my gauges were by Smith. The Tach was only off by about 1,000 rpm, so off to service and recalibration it went.

As for the dash, I installed a Walnut veneer face plate to give it a little panache.

Hi Joel

My old Morris didn't have a rev counter, so I've never got used to one (I still just listen to the engine).

Driving my friend's modern car a week or so ago, I started to suspect the speedometer was faulty... until I realised I was looking at the rev-counter! (It was placed exactly where the speedo was on the Morris) Luckily, I found we were actually travelling at pretty much exactly the speed I'd estimated when I did finally look at the correct instrument!

I must admit a walnut dashboard is tempting. I think we had one even in my Dad's Triumph Herald back in the mid- '60s,

All the best

The wooden dashes didn;t come in until the Mark II came along I think. I am sure Google can help.

Warren,
I installed the Walnut veneer dash myself. Took all of 5 min including removing it from the plastic package.

Warren,
honestly, from what I can remember, the veneer fit right over them perfectly.

What about all the guages and switches you had to transfer?

they were vinyl-covered. Fine in winter, but on a hot summer's day...
