Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Two questions (as usual) this time PLUS 8

Hi all,

some news from my Plus 8...
During so called winter i was driving about 500km. The Morgan got always very hot. Moving the licence plate up
did't help really much. Wanted to install a cowl box, but they are hard to find. Maybe i get one from Belmog when
they get re-produced.

Last week i've installed a new radiator from Simon, including a new thermostat. First strange thing, someone took
out the thermostat, removed all the stuff inside and put back only the metal housing. According GOMOG not really
a good idea.
After two testdrives with the new radiator and the thermostat it looks like i have a "cool car" now
Max temp. 90 degrees.

Over wintertime i replaced the old plastic covers for the door lock, added chassis rail covers and some protection
panels at the side (dont know the name at the moment). In addition i removed the bumper and installed overriders
(for bumper cars) and the original orange indicator lenses. Now it is very close to the delivery look.

With the new radiator - and the 8 on the mesh


Last things planned for next two weeks: New tires and a new Moto Lita steering wheel. The LeCarre loses the clear coat
and is a bit rough.

Now out for a run - sunny 18 degrees
