Since around half a year or a year Morgan delivers correct lower speedo cables now.
Well, in the last couple of weeks MMC must have gone back to their old ways!
Picture no. 6 in my original post shows a good flush fit on the gearbox takeoff ready for clamping with the original cable. Picture no. 7 clearly shows Morgan's latest offering which wouldn't fit flush and could not be clamped in place.
Sometime in 1994 Land Rover changed the Rover v8 gearbox from the LT77 to the R380 which presumably was used until 2004 when the +8 was discontinued. It may be that a different cable fitting was used for the R380 and there was only a small number of LT77 compatible cables around.
The quest continues.
