Hello together,
here are a few pics about my first winter project. I was a little bit concerned about the squeek and rattle problems with my new Morgan. For that reason I disassemble most of the interieur, dash and parcel shelf and improved many areas with heavy layer and self adhesive foam. As an acoustic engineer first I did an analysis on our roller bench and then identified the hot spot areas with a thermografic camera.
Dash area
Dash cover lower
Next task was installing the spot lights. Many thanks to the very friendly stuff of Morgan Ledgerwood to provide the spot light brackets and helpfull hints about the wire routing.
Next task was only a small but very effictive improvement to stop the movement of the left hood side. I saw on many new plus 4 that the lower hood spacer is not correct adjusted. Fixed it very simple as shown below.
Last thing was the dash himself. I had the series painted dash and would like to change to the wood version.
Matthias Kauffelts shop is only 40 km from my office in Frankfurt and after several visits we found a possibility thats fits to my expectations. To those who a familar with the GDI dash knows that it#s not so easy to change the switch positions due to the switch Panels and the can bus problem. I did the electrical changes and Matthias the wooden job.
Here are now the results.
Added start engine switch and spot light switch on separate insert.
You can find my dash on Matthias website now or if you like to do by yourself drop me an PM and I will support.
I hope you like it.
Torsten
