Maybe the newer cars have already a nicer solution – although invisible, the free hanging OBD-connector in my +4 2009 does not meet my expectation of a tidy electric installation in a car for 50k. Even a protection cap is missing.



So, made an L-aluminum frame, one leg with a hole to mount it using one screw of the fuse-box under the dash, in the other leg cut out corresponding quadratic hole, so the OBD-connector snaps in.

Looks much better now, even like an expensive car...

That's well executed.

For those of us with less mechanical skills I use a small OBD extension cable which can be run under the dash or carpet. Cheap and easily available.

Just in case it helps.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Definitely! Though it depends on individual sensation. This one is beyond for me.

Admitted, I like to tweak even Mog's invisible corners. Anyway, there are still enough left to keep the character smile.

Would curing of the subject of the post title cure the hanging revs issue?

It was meant as a joke combining hanging with the OBD socket and the ECU rev hang.
