If so, it's a fundamental of the design of the steering geometry (though it could be dialled out by modifying steering pickup points if you were desperate for an annoying job to do).... I presume on the road it's fairly minor and lost in all the other idiosyncrasies of the pre-war front end 🙂

The bump steer on a trad Morgan is shocking
The best you can do (on a R&P car) is have the track rods perpendicular to the kingpins at ride height

Isn't the bump steer mitigated to a large degree by having the track rods as long as possible Simon? This allowed by having them connected to centre of rack rather than each end as with M3W for example, which did suffer from serious bump steer at its outset.
