Wow is all I can say.
you are a lateral thinker Frank, we need more of your calibre in the world.
Lets get this idea moving, I remember that my older brothers BSA gold Flash had that type of spring set-up back in the 60's.
come on DaveW, get the grey matter working at top speed and lets post results? listening
maybe the Morgan factory has not even thought of that idea?
do you think that Charles Morgan is aware of such brilliant developments and ideas from this forum?
who could contact him and plant the idea?
Simon the great maybe?


There are veriations on this that have been tried... from using a reduced leaf spring for londitudinal positioning and then coil overs to provide the actual main suspension spring and damper combined.

There have also been IRS conversions (See MGB Kits for examples) which use various donors to supply the parts... esentially a rear suspension sub-frame which mounts into the rear axle area... these are mainly used for the Class A +8 racers as it has much more favourable camber, castor, wheel travel ark characteristics.

MogSport have built this into a few cars AFAIK but is not available as a kit.. the front modification along these lines is available from MulFab the test bed +8 was on show at the centenary..... then how far away from OEM do you want to go....?
