Just a shout out for my very good friends at Brands Hatch Morgan. Len, BHM's three wheeler specialist technician, has converted one of their belt drive Super Three demonstrators from the original belt drive to chain drive and the improvement is astonishing. No more banshee wail under load, it really is like chalk and cheese and makes the Super Three a joy to drive, rather than the chore that it was before. Apparently the chain drive is now a standard factory fitting for Super Threes, with belt an option for die hards. Len told me that in order to quieten the old belt drive, the belt had to be tightened so much that it was causing premature were on the drive and wheel bearings.
I'm fortunate enough to have driven this car before and after the modification and can thoroughly recommend interested Super Three owners to contact BHM and have a drive in the modified car. At the moment BHM also have a Super Three with belt drive by way of comparison. I don't know how much it would cost to change, but Len told me it took him about 3 hours.
My only connection with BHM is that of a very satisfied customer of more than 20 years. I am posting this with BHM's permission, they're too nice to blow their own trumpets!
