What ho all!
I'm Arthur of Aero Cycle Cars, I supplied Peter Dron the photos of the Triking-Morgan. I bought the whole project from Triking with the intention of potentially doing something with it. The first thing was that there was no castor on the suspension set-up, and the rudimentary sliding pillar set-up, was not well thought out. My idea was to used genuine Morgan 4/4 sliding pillars and hubs. I never got around to it and sold it on, however, before I did so, I took moulds from Tony Divey's very basic bodywork, having cleaned it up somewhat, and I then produced some mouldings.
Basically, I can buy a chassis in from Triking and offer up my own mouldings, I'd have to bend up rear rounded top and bottom chassis rails (we do this anyway for my standard cars), then a rather nice hybrid Morganesque Triking would be possible.
A further alternative is to incorporate the Triking-Morgan GRP body components into my own chassis design, thus, an Aero-Triking-Morgan, or maybe I call it simply an Aero-Morgan!
I can do whatever anyone wants. I also have a Triking front end which could be grafted to the front end of one of my chassis as well.
Yes, my nose cones are rather wide, however, it has to be as the throttle bodies of the fuel injection system would foul. Naturally, changes can be made, but I can confirm that every change made anywhere, has a knock on effect further down the line. Unlike Morgan with their 170 employees plus, I am solely a one man band...and 60! I went on a factory tour recently, funnily enough, I had to deliver a used Moto Guzzi engine to a young chap who works in the Aero Racing department, and apparently he is building a special, a 4 wheeler using a 3 wheeler chassis (presumably one of the returned cracked ones) and he is installing a Guzzi engine...not sure which gearbox he is using, but I'll be interested to keep in touch.
Full circle or what!
