my friend is a kite surfer. he has a go-pro-cam on his head when hes racing and jumping on the water. he also got a telescop arm to put the cam on. thats very nice for some special angles. so he sat in the m3w and did some videos and pics. he loved it! especialy when it was his turn behind the wheel!!!

Today, spring like weather graced us here in the frigged north with highs in the 60's. So, I was able to get away from work early and make the 85 mile pilgrimage to retrieve my Morgan from its winter storage spot at the dealership. Even though my drive was mostly 70 mph+ on the highway, it sure felt good to be behind the wheel again. Thank you to the MMC for covering all of those minor repairs under warranty!

Now, back to the garage to polish some more...

what a day! had to retune my mudguard...didn't do it right the first time!!! was not high enough, so i had to lift it by another 5cm. the rear tire cut into it a bit, so i had to put some tape ontop of the mudguard. i do not care what it looks like, but it has to be funtional to a 100%! now its the way it should be :-))

That looks to be mounted very high with a lot of tyre clearance compared to the mudguard I fitted. I have not had a problem with the tyre rubbing on the mudguard. Does it still fit under the boot tray?

How much clearance between tire & rim?

I used an off cut of 2x4 to make a template for the spacer between mudguard, so the 2" dimension gave a 2' gap.

yes it does fit under the boot tray. no problem with that. it has about 6 cm of space to the tire. but the thing is this: i am 98 kg and with a passenger together, the back end is very low down! so i do need that much room between mudguard and tire. simple as that :-)
btw....my mudguard is fix-mounted to the body of the car. so it doesn't move with the shocks up and down.

picture sure is deceiving. It looks to be 4 inches in the photo. Nice job Swissghost. Thanks for the update. My mudguard arrived from the UK last week but have not put the puppy on yet.
