Tim is meeting with another manufacturer today. I imagine it will all be sorted shortly with one shock maker or another.
Tim is working with Cain on this, very much in the older Morgan tradition that used to enhance the cars and the community.
I am very curious and eager to see what they come up with.

If it was me, I'd be beating a path to Bilstein.
Bilstein is a giant long standing German suspension expert that supplies products to Porsche, Mercedes, Aston Martin and many more. If you want to become an OEM supplier to a modern car maker, believe me, you've got to jump through a lot of hoops to demonstrate the quality, safety and durability of your products.
It's always sad to see another British manufacturer go under, but TBH I was glad to see the back of my rear AVOs as they were completely shot with zero resistance when I removed them after just 8,000 miles service. Two of the bubblegum bushes had failed in short order too, however, in their defense they did get a very hard life due to the terrible soft Morgan leaf springs.
Saying that I also have adjustable AVO coilovers on my Mulfab front wishbone conversion, and also I had a bubblegum bush go on one of them too. To get the front end working to its best, I kept winding the adjusters up a click at a time and over many weeks until I ran out of adjustment, they're now just one click off full hard which is the only acceptable setting they offer.
I will replace them with Bilsteins when the next bubblegum bush fails.
