Great work Axel. An interesting study of the Morgan suspension. Thank you for posting it.

I can't currently see the video as I'm beihnd a firewall at work.
BUT it would be very interesting to see a video of the SUPLEX front suspension in action -vs- the standard front suspension.

I have now put a 3rd video on youtube showing the activities of the front suspension (with AVO dampers (3 klicks) and brake reaction stays) and the torque rod (now with the upgraded rear suspension it is much more stable): http://youtu.be/rjh89U3qTN4Axel.

No, the only issue was to find the right place. I had to build a special holding device for the camera. Of course the sticky bitumen, which is everywhere under the new cars needs some care.
The rest was easy, the GoPro camera is build for this type of video.
Axel. I meant was the suspension upgrade work difficult/lengthy.

It was a 1 day job done by my Morgan Expert and for him it seems not to be too complicated. Of course I couldn't do it.
Axel.

In the second video, the bolts passing through the bushes in the anti-tramp bar to the U-bolt clamps seem to have a lot of side-to-side motion left - looks like at least 3mm. Is that correct or should they be done up tighter?

Excellent videos. Very interesting results. I am thinking of a suspension upgrade for my 3.7. As long as none of the classic Morgan character is lost from the car.
