It's basically finished with just the sign off required from the insurance company (sign off as in; bill to be paid!) But I'm now offshore till the end of the month so still a couple of weeks away.

My M3W repair journey is nearing the 11 month mark but much of that time was trying to get Morgan to follow known manufacturing standards for a main crankshaft oil seal; a ground finish surface for an effective seal with longevity.

In the end I had a machinist modify the replacement Centa journal with a ground finish.

Yes, since they build new three wheelers with parts that have failed for others.

I was shocked when my dvla road tax DD reminder came and I realised I was paying for 9 months tax mot and insurance while the car was sitting with Morgan.
Anyhow can't wait now three weeks and counting 😁

Yes absolutely I am sure I may get a few days out and about. Apparently it's like new with no noises banging clanking or screaming.
At least I am right up to spec now and my mod plate up to date.
