Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms HotMog's transformation

Much progress made recently, hurrah!

A lot of planning and quite a bit of internet shopping to acquire little bits and pieces that are needed to finish some small jobs. Oil cooler is now properly positioned and fully plumbed in, which wasn’t that difficult but took ages to make the brackets and route the pipework the best way.

Expansion tank now fitted and nearly plumbed in and also the fuel regulator and a new pump. Remember, I have gone from an EFI set up, back to carbs, so pump and regulator needed changing.



Ride height now set and I’m pleased to say that with the modified sump I now have 125mm, which I’m really pleased with, especially as my engine is slightly lower in the chassis than standard.

Coolant hoses are now also fitted, which entailed making up some nice joiners to route the lower hose over part of the crosshead. It’s a neat job though!





And finally, having measured up for the new propshaft, it’s currently at AutoProp Services in East Grinstead being modified because I have gone from the race spec Getrag dog box to a Cosworth Tremec T5 box.

Next job is one that I’ve been avoiding – fitting the handbrake lever. This will require some thinking, as none is currently fitted and where it should go on the chassis rail, I can’t get the standard support bracket to fit under the gearbox tail housing.
