Hi Neilda,
Both Melvyn Rutter and Allon White will make and fit side screen leather panels. If you take a look on their web sites there are photographs of finished panels on cars.
As Peter says, these panels help to make the side screens fit more snugly and are designed to fill the gaps along the door edge where wind and rain are able to penetrate. Well worth the money. Panels will still fit easily into side screen bag.

Leather inside side screens, look good and stop drafts.
Peter, are these an 'option' or a special made by someone? How is the leather fixed on to the screen? Are they much bulkier and harder to store? I'm tempted. Thanks They are not a factory fit Neilda. Both Alon White and Williams make them. They are screwed to the two mounting brackets and are not particularly bulky and don't get in the way when storing the screens in the bag. I like them....they cut down on draughts and finish off the sidescreens nicely.  Jmog just beat me to it!

When we were teens we would still be in a coma by 8.15am on a Saturday!!
The side screen option is a bit of a pain in that the dealer needs the car. Understandably so, but it's a pain to get it over to them. Will have a ponder.

You could do as I did with my Roadster and have the panels made while your car is in for a service. 2 birds, 1 stone!

As long as the leather is matched fitting at Williams is "Whilst you Wait"...about an hour. Time to look at toys, avoid the dogs and possibly take a M3W out for a ride....! Peter

Quick Question - Did I read the side screens can store behind the seats somewhere a slot where the spare wheel used to be ?
If so has anyone got some pics of that
Cheers

Gajet Yes I can confirm that. Currently I use the slot for storage.

Gajet Depends on the car.... Early ones had a slot and also a locker, but these have been deleted in favour of rear speakers and a rack with a slot for the side screens as per most other Trad Mogs.

Brian,
I'm embarking on fitting audio to my car.
Do you know which Hirschmann aerial was fitted ? Is it supporting DAB?
AUTA 360 KA, AUTA 360 KB or HIT AUTA 330 KA Sorry for delayed reply, we have been in the West Country and did not have proper access to the Net. The aerial fitted was Hirschmann AUTA 360 KA Pillar Mount Aerial the Code: CA013. It may not have the same distance mounting points as the Morgan fitted aerial, but mine was fitted by the factory as part of the build. As recommended by PeterJ, I ordered and got MMC to fit the following DAB Converter and the combination together with a Pioneer unit, work very well and pick up both FM and DAB very well. HTH.
