I more or less proved the aircleaner box was the source of the tapping noise by wedging a piece of foam rubber between the plastic box and the metal and the noise disappeared. The box would be very difficult to lower but I can't see why Morgan could not have reduced the edge of the bonnet a little in the same way as they have done over the heater box edge. We now have a section of metal without paint and a 1 mm deep groove in the top of the airbox.

The mechanic pressed the airbox clamps down tighter but ours still touches every so often. Ultimately I will probably try to modify the bracket.
