Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Liberty ACE 2.0 = a flat 6 mid-engine 3 Wheeler!

Still very much a prototype but I'm sure the large tach (white face) will keep it's dominant positioning...

This just gets better and better

What a clever man Peter is, looks great!
Must be more room in the cockpit without the drive shaft.

I bet that dosen't bump steer.

Looks like it has a stellar turning circle too...

Pete if you’re watching.

I still think an engine turned stainless steel dashboard would look great.

For my M3W I drew the template including speedo/tach cutouts and drill holes on thick paper. Sent to FPM Metals in Nebraska. They laser cut the dashboard out of stainless steel and engine turned. Excellent work and very reasonably priced. Great company to work with. Going to make another pitch for silver exterior paint.

Great job. Anxious to see the finished product.

Please understand that ACE 2.0 is still a prototype, unfinished, in progress... they will also not have a raw black gel-coat finish, body panels will not be affixed by racing tape, and the dash will be amazing. Pete has been letting me post these 'spy shots' and I think everyone has been enjoying the sneak peek, and the resulting enthusiasm too.

I've come to trust Pete's aesthetic and believe that whatever he chooses to do, it will be the proper path. Yes, there will be silver, and I'm also sure that they wont all look the same.

Sportster, I also want you to know that I appreciate your past efforts too... Since Morgan chose to ditch Pete's original ACE dash design for their version, I bought engine tuned panels from the shysters at Morgan West; which eventually arrived scratched and with the scallops orientated in different directions! After they begrudgingly agreed to take them back, I bought from FPM (at a third the price) and didn't even have to send in a template because YOU had already done that work; they fit perfectly too!

There are many pictures of my ACE#10's dash on this forum and below is a professional pic of what Pete did for all of his 13 original ACEs, as standard spec.

Now imagine what 2.0 will look like when she's truly finished and ready for her formal debut...

Thanks 3Gs.

I know this is an unfinished prototype. I worded the sentence “ I still think “ poorly.

Pete’s original ACEs were finished off very nicely.

Keep the pics of progress coming. Fun to watch it unfold.

Regards.

Thank you Sportster, all good stuff; back to 2.0...


During my ride in 2.0 Pete did a u-turn that started within our lane's outside line and finished just past of the oncoming lane's outside line the the tire still on the narrow paved shoulder; I think it could have been a bit tighter too.

I have video of this but I'd have to edit out the majority of the clip where the speed limit may have been 'slightly' exceeded.



I can say that ACE#10 doesn't bump steer, and Pete added that he was able to improve 2.0's geometry without the engine being there too.


Latest 2.0 updates: the ECU has now been further road tuned for even more go-go, and will be dyno tuned next month. Current headlights may get swapped with slightly smaller versions and rear lights are on order too.

I Have over 40,000 miles on my 2014 M3W it has been to Alaska and most of the west coast. I have only once or twice scraped the tail.
