The problem with drawing the clutch leg back Nippy, is that you then have quite a severe bend at the knee, with the consequent extra weight moving to the right buttock, which after an hour or two starts going numb. This could be eradicated if the left leg could be straightened by putting it down beside the clutch - if room could be found.
Dab, I did look at the width of the footwell, and felt that, just maybe, if the pedals were bent one way or the other a bit, some room could be found, but it's a fiddly job and not one I really want to start if there is no hope of it ever working.
With regard to the Empire geometry correction kit, I would say that for the £795, that they are charging, it is a better bet than Morgans spacer only kit, as not only are they making the spacer, which frankly, is the easy bit, but a whole new top wishbone for either side as well as the ali. brackets and stay, completing this with three fully adjustable spherical joints [one for the steering and two for the inner wishbone attachment points], which then allow full adjustment of the camber, castor, as well as toe. The only thing the kit can't do is to correct the offset of the king pin or upright, which I understand is a major job involving redesign of the chassis, uprights and stub axle.
Not having driven the car with only the spacers fitted, which, as I understand it, is all that Morgan are making available, I can't pass judgement on the difference, but I can say that with the new upper wishbones as well as the spacers, the steering is in a completely different league, lighter with more feel, and no bumpsteer at all. I now steer with just two fingers, just for fun. The steering no longer weights up in a corner nor will it will change line mid corner, and it now goes exactly where it is pointed.
I will be returning my car to Empire in a couple of weeks for them to make copies of the kit, and I suspect they will need final orders shortly after that.
