I took delivery of my spanking new three wheeler this time last year...
Had all the normal extras fitted to it, including a gleaming new chrome luggage rack....
Went to purchase a fancy leather suitcase & leather straps etc for it, the "Morgan" suitcase wont fit on the "Morgan" rack!!!!
You couldn't write the script...…..

Not my cup of tea A little too big That is why I have Mini Coopers, if I need a truck to carry things I take the Mini otherwise I travel light. Spent 10 days in Japan and only took one small carry on bag that surely fit in the boot.
2019 M3W Sold and is now in Las Vegas enjoying the showgirls :-)

He-he, I made the same mistake! Just look for a vintage leather trunk/suitcase with two straps, 25”-30” wide, something like these: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F223546284426 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183857751076 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302828865063 I took delivery of my spanking new three wheeler this time last year...

Test fit of the suitcase: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/hTtyHS8.jpg) vs all set up on the road trip: ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/B0LtUpY.jpg) Only problem with this setup is the one time we needed gas we just removed the whole luggage rack, it was a heck of a lot easier than removing the suitcase.

They look fantastic Mark where they come from? Kev - I've used the following & it added up to £29 39mm Truss clamps eBay £14 Stainless eye bolts £ 5 Classic mini rocker cover rubbers & washer kit eBay £10 Stable, cushioned, removable and it works, the clamps stay attached to the rack when not in use, no drilling or badly designed fitting to install I used the mini rocker cover kit and 8mm eye bolts too but found these really neat clamps on eBay.

Does it not crush the body panel with the weight on the suction cup ?

Does it not crush the body panel with the weight on the suction cup ? The area of contact is a complex curved surface, probably the strongest part of the whole cars skin.

Pretty sure those mounts won't fit the large Aussie-style headrest hoops ... Too funny - turns out that Morgan re-used the part no for the old and new luggage racks, so when my dealer ordered the old rack... they got the new one! So for Aussie headrest M3Ws it looks like 3rd party is the only way to go (time to ping morganpark.de I think!)...
