From the "gull-wing" photo of my 4/4 that I posted on page 12, I counted 16.

Has anyone studied the number of bonnet slats on the trad Morgan for various models and vintages? My 78 four seater 4/4 Has 12 each side and 24 on the top.
But it was rebuilt in 89 with a new alloy bonnet.More recent models seem to have 8 per side and there is one in miscellany this month page 26 looks like G reg that seems to have 9 on the side. Im sure there is an expert out there somewhere?

Regards Barry Unfortunately the other day I was tricked into counting my Louvres by NeilM  So I thought I had better own up, Rosie has 29 on top and 9 on the side of each bonnet cover so a total of 76 Louvres.

My 1973 4/4 sport had no slats on top and 8 extractor slats on the side. It had a fully balanced Vulcan crossflow with twin 40's, hot Kent cam and a 4 branch that glowed in the dark. Never overheated, never got wet. Still like the top slats though.
The garage left the oil filler cap off on my current +4, and oil coming onto the windscreen gave me early warning. When a piston comes up through the slats you know you've overcooked it. I am sure Morgan did not put them there for that reason !
