Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) So, have you driven your Morgan today?

Yes, I've been out most days in the fine weather and today went out to move the newly greased kingpins around and test a slightly higher tyre pressure - 23 PSI front and back - it reduced the oversteer on throttle lift off. I noticed that the wiper's water bottle was hanging at an odd angle, one of the rivets having lost its head. Put a self tapping screw in for now as I do not have a pop rivet gun but I suspect it will not hold in the long run as there are significant forces applied on potholes and speed bumps.

I have also carried out the first wire wheel cleaning exercise since owning this vehicle for the last 18 months. Generally the wheels are cleaned on the outside every month or so but I did not pay any attention to the inner flange. As you can imagine, I found a thick cocktail of road grime, mud, grass and tar creating it's own ecology. ACF 50 proved to be the best at shifting the muck with a follow up of window spray. This may have been the very first time the inner wheels had any attention, there is an amount of staining and some stubborn tar deposits which will need clearing. Anyway, for you and I who care, they look lovely.
