Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Things to do the fIrst week you own your M3W

I am trying to compile a helpful list for first time owners. So rather than saying "drive it and enjoy it" I would like some constructive suggestions.

So far I have:

Check the Fuel Hose clamps on the Throttle Body hoses.

Make a PVC cover for the vent hole in the steering rack.

Paint the bare metal part behind the engine where the steering column and steering rack join.

Plug the hole in the compensator housing.

Weatherproof the area behind the seats.

Paint the inner front fenders with chip-proof paint.

Replace the long bolt that prevents the easy removal of the steering wheel.

Anybody think of other things?

Go and have à long ride

ok, someone had to say it, now can we take that one as a given and move on?

Never heard of the "make a pvc cover for the vent hole. Any picture? Thanks

If you haven't ordered the rear wheel mudguard (fender ) it's well worth making one .

Check the air in the tires ... my fronts were not equal. And a good wash and wax.

Get used to the rattles & identify the various noises.

Supposedly there is an upward facing vent hole in the steering rack that can get water in it and corrode the rack making steering stiffer. I cant find the post about it though?

Looks like fuel gauge sender might not be worth it based on that thread.

After looking at the thread about fuel hose clamps I'm thinking a small fire extinguisher for the passenger foot well might be nice.

Maybe thumb screws for the trunk liner.

Then there's the sound dampening. Ken Shapiro had a good thread with some pictures on that. Not sure if he ever put dinamat under the seat, or if I missed that part, but there were other sound dampening measures.

I'm also supposed to do something with Acf-50, but I dont know what?
