Solved my loose knurled side screen nut assenbly with some longer screws as the 25mm long originals just weren't biting into the ash door frame as well as they should, I hadn't realised previously but both the triangular chrome plates need to be pulled really securely into the door skin or you’ll never get the side screens to fit well.

If one of the two triangular chrome plates on each door is even slightly loose the side screen will get sucked out fractionally at speed causing a bad seal and excessive wind noise, and all this irrespective of how hard you tighten the knurled nut. I went with 7mm longer stainless steel countersunk Torx security wood screws in 4.2mm x 32mm size (No.8 x 1.1/4"), these were also given a light smear of wood specific two part epoxy to help where the original holes had been chewed out in the ash door frame.

Only one of my triangular chrome plates was loose (two of its three screws not biting as well as they should), however, for uniformity I will now replace all the slotted screws in the remaining three plates using these slightly longer screws. You really don't notice they’re not the traditional slotted variety and while it remains comically easy to break into any Morgan, I guess these security screws are at least another line of defense against unwanted side screen removal.

Anyway, getting my one problematic triangular chrome plate to pull in nice and tight has worked a treat, for the first time ever my passenger side screen is now a really good fit and remains so at speed thumbs

The screws I used are available here if anyone is suffering a similar issue, as per the above image they're supplied with the appropriate security Torx bit making the solution a nice simple fit.
