The idea that a shocker fitted to a Trad might also act as a bump stop seems far less than ideal. I can understand that there may have been quality issues relative to leaf springs ageing "prematurely" and thus exacerbating the already minimal suspension travel in a Trad, perhaps even more so in Trads with tubular shockers than the original design concept that utilised lever arms..? If the aforementioned might be the case, that would cause me to wonder if lever arms ever suffered the similar situation of them becoming involuntary bump stops...?
By the time I arrived at Morgan ownership I had passed through the natural stage of having an overwhelming desire to modify machinery, having modified much to destruction while ignoring the advice of engineers...! Fortunately I survived the process while the machines may have unduly suffered, and by the time of acquiring my Morgan I had lost that mad for modifying gene along with many of my other youthful persuits...
While typing modifications, I wonder was the tubular shocker hoop on the rear of trads, a Morgan creation or another of those that was born out of owner based ideas of improvement, just as others of the same may have ended up as accepted by the Morgan community or even ended up being adopted by the MMC..?
