Mossman can make trunks to your sizes: Mossman Trunks

We have been using ours as a case but it can get very heavy, so I'm thinking of using soft bags within it and bolting it to the rack when we are touring.

I use an LED strip which I velcro to the trunk or to straps on the spare wheel when that is fitted. It's a 4/4 sport so the spare wheel obscures the built in high level light.

For long leather straps look on eBay

For luggage straps, I bought a couple of leather belts from Big Men Online (http://www.bigmenonline.co.uk/belts-c102x1648883 ) that cost me a total of £36.00, which is a huge saving on the Morgan ones. They’ve performed excellently and look the part, too.

A neat solution for the high level brake light (HLBL)...

Is probably safer, but is a HLBL actually legally required? Older Morgans obviously do not have one?

Now THAT I like a lot. In particular the Morgan badge. When the time comes for some luggage I think I’ll trawl Fleabay for a suitable case and do similar.

Thanks for the idea!

As someone has alluded to above, watch the height of some of the hard cases/trunks affecting visibility when the hood is up! (I know, I know....wimp!) Good door mirrors a must.

The light is plumbed from its fixed position through the case to a connector then into the brake light harness. The case comes off light and all in this version. I have made up a heavy clear plastic cover for the whole unit for weather protection. The second version is more functional as it can be attached to any form or shape of luggage.
