Hi Colin, many thanks for the much needed memory refresh, given I ever had a poor memory and it seems advancing years offer no improvement on that situation.
Sorry to have misrepresented your brake system mods..Duh..! I think around that time there were a few companies marketing caliper "upgrades." You may also remember around the time I was also not keen on modifying Morgans, having adopted a more Vintage set of values relative to old cars, and having spent a number of years modifying my own machines to a state of imbalance relative to the original design capabilities of the machine. Additionally it seemed that there were quite a number of Morganeers who wore modification as a badge of honour, and in the process created some mods that potentially spoiled their enjoyment of DRIVING the machine, perhaps to the extent it became more or less a garage queen or was sold, having spent a great deal of money to create their idea of perfection, that ended up driving like a three legged horse...? Been there done that, more so on m/cycles than cars..Duh !
For sure it would seem there can be no easier car to modify than a Trad Morgan, but rather than drift off as is my tendency.. improving on the quality of Morgan engineering standards and material choices if engaged upon with educated consideration to the knock on affect overall with the rest of the functions of the car, can no doubt be very rewarding.
In the case of your choices Colin there was never any "debate," my sincere apologies if you thought it so. I would consider myself a fool to think I could come anywhere near your skills in so many areas of automotive engineering, or vehicle handling.... As you may remember we drove in company over some interesting Tarmac, during which time I kept a weather eye on you whether in front or behind, and if the latter, ever wary...(-: Fortunately for me Colin, I was never stupid enough to be tempted into a comparative test of driving skills... Happy days..
