Just experienced a complete fracture of the drivers side silencer at approx 3000 mls
I think the cause of the fracture might be too much penetration on the weld around the heat shield lug. Also I think the support brackets on the silencer should be slotted to allow for more lateral adjustment of bobbins during installation. Alignment with the brackets on the body is understandably not perfect and therefore the bobbins are under constant sheer stress even at rest.
Owned the moggie for only three weeks and have put nearly 2k on the clock. Loving nearly every minute. However I am a little frustrated that there appears no official recognition of design faults and that this forum is the only source of warranty information. I bought the vehicle privately, however I must say that Richard Thorne Classic Cars (my local Morgan dealer)have been extremely helpful regards this and regulator issues.
Has anyone else experienced this failure. Will try and work out how to attach photo
This might work
