Thank you for the reply Lorne, my serial No is not far from yours. R9471. You are correct about the ratio split that is a plus point for the servo, I suppose one of the reasons for going back to non servo was that it moves the master cylinder nearer the bulkhead. It was a bit close to the exhaust manifold although it hasn't caused any problems because it's got a decent heat shield around it and the manifold is wrapped ,also. heat rises. I have 4 pot calipers and rear discs and I have never locked out the rear end. I have what I think is the last original master cylinder in my parts cache and I was (maybe not now) going to do it as a winter project, oh well DB
Yes. Your car and my first iteration were stable mates For a number of reasons, they are a splendid wine from a great vintage. Interestingly you opted for the best combination. CAPARO fronts and GIRLING rears. Bill Beck, the Morgan designer that rid the cars of the imbalance, explained that production under Morris got the installation of the rears wrong and they rarely self-adjust.

I used to have a mandate from Morgan racers in the UK to find them the rare GIRLING component, the back plate, They wisely prefer manually adjusting the rears..You have it all..except, I imagine, PORTEFIELD R4-s at the four corners.
But if you choose to buy them, contact me first and I will tell you how they can be ordered and arrive proper to fit and be less expensive. Be well.
