Just renewed the king pins and bushes on my +4. I stripped out the hubs myself and used the excellent services of Colin Jones at Leicester. Colin got the new parts from Mulfab on my behalf and I took the hubs to him for bush renewal and reamering.
Colin has a workshop set up with all the right workshop equipment to complete the job in about half an hour.
If you are local enough to Leicester to make use of this service I'd certainly recommend this as the most economically way of upgrading your front suspension with the best materials available.
Making use of the Morgan community services is the best way of ensuring we have these facilities into the future. Colin can be contacted via Talk Morgan.

Seconded , Colin is a really good craftsman, who is really well versed in Morgan eccentricities. He made short work of my front suspension, even when the top of the king pins had corroded onto the crosshead (who says stainless steel doesn't rust)

Thirded (?) colin did my plus 8 last year and my new (to me) plus four this year after I traded the plus 8.
He's forgotten more about mechanicing than I'll ever know. I was happy to pass scanners, make the tea etc whilst he worked his magic.

It rather depends on the colour of their abdomens and the marital status of their parents I would think.

I'm in there with the rest of you appreciating Colin's service. Just put my 4/4 back on the road after kingpin and bushes renewal earlier this year.
Thanks Colin
