Selected: Right Hand Inner Fender (Flitch) | Morris Minor
Select variations below for more info:
The design of the Morris Minors was pretty advance for it's day and used stressed panels instead of the 'ladder' frame of contemporary cars. This created a lighter and stronger car, but when the rust gets serious that strength goes away and we need to replace these panels to be safe. The flitch and wheel arch do more than keep mud out of the engine compartment, they structurally tie the chassis leg/tie plate to the cowl to support the front side of the car! It's also what you bolt the outer fender to. If in doubt replace it.
