Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Dont lean on this!

My garage is quite small and when I noticed I wanted to reach something in the passenger well of the car rather than squeezing round the back of the car I put my hand on the area just behind the gear stick. Then leaned over to pick it up..........THEN SNAP!

I assumed that whatever was covering the gearbox was quite robust however upon visiting the factory last week I managed to spot this.



It seems that the cover is a thin plastic with various optional cut outs for left or right hand drive. The central area which I snapped looks like its for a trinket tray although I haven't seen one fitted.

Anyway think before leaning or better still walk round the car if you need something from the other side!

Luckily one would never know I have done this but at the time I was really annoyed with myself.

That cutout is for the optional passenger ejector seat controls planned for the 2016 model.

Its a liitle bit of a faf getting this cover off bit it can be done in half an hour.
Once covered in leather i would imagin a pice of ali and some araldite will be yu best option

I wish somebody would offer a drop in trinket tray for that space. I'd be the first in line to purchase it.

Thanks Matty,
I will leave it till the winter. Don't want to waste valuable Autumn driving time!

There's only a slight dip in the leather but it still annoys me that its there.

Only mentioned it on here to warn others.

I could be way off , but arent they the slots for the handbrake ?

Isn't the 'trinket tray' cutout designed to make the moulding backward-compatible with the 2012 gear lever position?

I have the bespoke German narrow console in my 2013. It gives me a few inches of thigh room and has a great little tray I use for my garage opener...

Nice. Makes you wonder why the standard one is so chunky...
