Hello Dave,
I am new to being registered on this forum but have been watching your superb efforts and many of your interesting and inventive ideas. Great work and support for the members of this forum.

I really like your idea of flaps to stop the wings being damaged by flying stones..Thank you I will make up a set. Yes, very surprising this kind of thing ios not a factory option or on the shelf somewher.

Two years ago I acquired a 1968 Plus 4 that I bought (in almost scrap condition) Have done a bare chassis refurb and had good use out of it last summer.

It is a super project and I have learned a lot from you and others at Talk Morgan,also Lorne Goldman and GoMog in Canada where I live. Could not have done it without all the snippets of info I gathered. Never having owned, or even driven a Morgan before I would have been completely lost..and it is a good feeing to know there are others struggling with all the same things, even if I can't see these people.

Front axle tips.
It is an old topic but one I suspect may be of interest to all with the Morgan sliding pillar suspension.
When doing mine I used needle roller bearings and suitable adapters on the top of the main springs and on the top of the rebound springs. These are rated to carry enough load for this job.
They work very well to minimize wheel wobble. Even removed the old saw blade thing and kept all the old parts together in a box.
In the aluminum adapter plates for the neddle bearings I incorporated "O" rings that work as wipers to keep grease in and dirt out.

To protect the lower part of the shaft from dirt I used medical bungee wrapping like you would use for a sprained knee etc. It is an elastic open weave bandage. A few turns of that There is room for about 5 turns) with a plastic tie each end securing it makes a very good and flexible dirt filter that can be easily removed for shows and changed when dirty.

For the main spring I made a vinyl sleeve that reaches the bottom of the main spring. It clamps to the top needle bearing adapter with a hose clamp (screw clamp hidden from view, and velcro down the sids (at the back. This can also be easily and quickly removed for shows etc.

Thank you so much for your sharing your knowledge.
