Yes, Jochen. What have you done with the cowl?

The wheel & boss are obviously "standard" MotoLita items (still... .

The Cowl & the stalks are sourced from my local Morgan Dealer ( www.morganpark.de ) & are "relatively" easy to install....

I'll have to give that some thought...

I have the plastic cowl trimmed in leather to match the interior. Done by Allon White. Very neat and tidy

My interior is stone, so given the problems with reflections, I'll pass on that. However, I do have some dark brown leather left over from re-upholstering the dinning room chairs. It wouldn't be that far off the colour of the walnut dash. I've got the cowl off at the moment while I look into an aluminium casting to fit on the end of the cowl. Perhaps I'll see how the leather looks...

I laid a piece of the leather over the cowl to see what it would look like. What do you think?

Shiremog, I have attached a photo of a temporary fix I did on my own car.
Since doing it, I no longer notice the hole behind the steering wheel.
I cut out the shape in a rubber garage door seal and tacked it to the cowl with bostik glue. Does the job. I will do a more permanent fix in the winter.
Last weekend at Gaydon, one one car with the similar cowl, the owner had edged cowl with rubber u tube. I however feel that the hole needs to be filled in.

I agree the hole needs filling. My plan is an aluminium cap, same sort of shape as yours.

I had to do it! Every time I got in the car, that open ended cowl shouted at me

Here's the result:

That's perfect. Very neat job. That really tidies up the cowl. Well done that man.
