Are the discs solid unventilated and made from pressed steel plate? Or are they a true iron casting? If pressed steel the issue could be that the heat of heavy braking from German motorway speeds is raising temperatures to such an extent that the steel, is being stress relieved.
With discs formed from steel plate, there should be a stress relieving process before final grinding to ensure that the disc stays true.

Clearly the Morgan factory fit brakes are spec'd down to a price rather than upto a standard. I suggest that is why they are not fitted to the Cosworth engine car, Mulfab were tasked with providing a superior alternative and came up with the superb Hi-spec calipers and modified BMW 840/850 discs. I was not happy with "Indian" jobs on my +4 and changed them out for this Mulfab alternative and the car stops on a sixpence, sorry 2.5P. I dont think you can drive the car long enough or hard enough to identify any deterioration in braking performance. Money well spent!
