It is rumoured that you have more spare parts in your garage than they have at the factory?   I do have the complete induction bits off my 4/4 in a box....filter, housing, throttle body, injectors etc which Aero Racing stripped off my car when it went onto throttle bodies. Wasn't going to let them have it all but no one seems to want it! Ditto my bonnet halves! Jay, missed the housing, throtle body ect. still have them? Georgie. 2001 zetec 1.8 silver top.

Yes, they all sit in my garage...cluttering it up. They will only fit a Sigma 1.6 by the way.

A little late but re your original question “Without trouble” When I first fitted 185’s all looked fine stationary but very occasionally one rear side would just touch the inner wheel arch (at the 2 o’clock position) whilst cornering resulting in a slight polish mark to the grimy black underseal just inside the arch. An unlucky characteristic of an asymmetric hand built car that is prone to flexing. It was easily resolved by fitting a Mulfab axle centralising kit. Now there is loads of clearance all round and it also looks so much nicer with the wheels in the middle of the arches (where perhaps Morgan should have positioned them!).

If you are tempted with the Avon CR6ZZ tyres, fit 175 and not 185 tyres. Avon updated their moulds last year and the 175s are approximately the width of the old 185s and the new 185s wider than the old ones...if you get my drift!

I used Avons CR6ZZ 185 width (the new design) on the 4/4 race car I built my boss, Henry Williams. With our rear centralising kit I got no rubbing issues and it's sits very low. I would welcome anyone to go against it in handling terms, as I'll doubt you will beat it  Please send questions about what I done to our 4/4.
