No I do not think so.
The additional chassis bracing solved the issues I think?

I dont think so
There are problems on additional chassis bracing
The new chassis is the good solution
It seems that a new chassis happens ( mogmag)

One big nasty crash could be the end of Morgan. Not to tell them how to run a business--but for all the 3 wheelers who are not connected with this website they should be contacted and have all cars (at least prior to 2014) frames checked and action taken. I think this is one of the most serious and potentially disastrous issues I've come across in my long life. Lets all think good thoughts?

Get some pictures up of that. Hell might be good to compile a list with images of all the frame issues, maybe with model year as well. Good reference for where to look during regular check overs.

Thanks Tim , so it seems that the bracing upgrade hasn't solved the problem .

Thanks for the replies. I have the welded triangulation (2014 car), will check anyway as soon as I can.

Plus one - this makes sad reading indeed.
On a side-note relating to modified parts still failing.
Having just changed my exhaust bobbins - I've just discovered cracks to my exhaust around the top heat guard mount point welds with early migrating around the exhaust. Welding required
These exhausts have covered 7500 miles and are the 1.5mm modified variant.

Indeed. Chassis weld check probably should be in the dealer service checklist (if it isn't already)! To anyone affected: Good luck with the fixes...
