And - as usual for Morgan - there is now a cottage industry slowly fixing it… G56 exhaust and air intake, M3WServices rear disk and fuel lines, etc, Phil Bleazey BB mount, Centa fix and chain conversion, Torino tubeless wheels, etc etc


Keep in mind, these 'fixes' are essentially only available to UK owners. The ROTW is pretty screwed.

Michael, I'm sure I have read on here somewhere that Phil exported the drivetrain fix out to the States a while back and one of you boys has successfully fitted it. So the ROTW is not lost to the M3W finishing off process really.



Richard, the black hole is labor. Emil Rolando (of oil cooler, oil tank and fuel supply upgrade fame) did install a couple of Phil's fixes but is now retired. As far as I know, Morgan dealers won't touch this stuff because it would be too much of an acknowledgement of MMC deficiency. The only hope will be to engage the S&S motorcycle shop network. But again, why does MMC not take the lead on this?

Michael, sorry I hadn't realised about Emil retiring and essentially taking the talent with him.
I wish you luck with finding a workshop willing to take on this work otherwise as you say it looks a little bleak.
Very interesting the attitude of the dealers and to an extent I understand as it's almost an admission of guilt or failure on the design front which we all know to be true.
