Happy days with the car Richard. I'm 33" leg. I can get by OK, but Hugh fitted a larger Moto Lita wheel, so it clears the left knee. Just pivot L ankle to the left and don't wear Doc Martins.

Great news the wait is over and enjoy drive

Are you coming to France next weekend?

The weather forecast looks good and it would be a great way to get through the inintal running in.

Thanks will try that. I'm 5'10" with 31" leg so similar. Did consider the need to move pedal box forward but was wearing flying jacket at the time. I'm hoping moving the wheel an inch closer to me will allow a little more leg movement.

Thanks for welcome to M3W ownership from yourself and others. Sadly too many commitments to make the blat, having to juggle my time between partner, narrowboat and motorcycle. Look forward to a far more practical innocent form of personal transport though. My journey to collect car took six legs on Saturday morning

Short video - excuse commentary from my ebullient brother! Carrier to be black powder coated.

The Moto Lita steering wheel looked a bit plain and the dash area of Thumper is a bit anonymous.



So I have attached some Morgan wings to the centre of the steering wheel. These are a 50mm badge from the MMC web shop. The clasp was removed but two rivets were left behind to give retention for the 24hr epoxy adhesive. The fit surface off the badge was also roughened up, along with the centre of the steering wheel. Two depressions were cut in to the aluminium with a rose head bur to locate the wings.



Final result is, I think, suitably restrained.

Nice, but did you know MotoLita makes a beautiful hub for the wheel with a Morgan emblem in the center?
