Hello everyone. I have just purchased a 3-wheeler and am really excited to drive and enjoy this vehicle.

Being in the United States, the vehicle headlights are in the "wrong" spot.

But I asked my dealer to provide relocation brackets so I can relocate the headlights to their conventional correct position. I wanted to ask if anyone knows if these are brackets to do so:

Also - does anyone know the purpose of these parts?

Your first photo are the correct parts to mount the headlamps in the "correct" position.
The second photo are protectors which go on the front wheel nuts (spinners) and are zip tied to the spokes to prevent pedestrians bring hurt when you run them over, I haven't seen them in use but are supplied to comply with regulations.

Thank you very much. That is what I figured when I saw the brackets but I had been told the parts were back ordered due to coronavirus, so I was not sure what they were. I was expecting them to arrive much later so that is a pleasant surprize.

If anyone based in the United States has installed these headlamp relocation brackets, can you please post a photo of your installation to confirm where these need to go.and which orientation.
Thank you very much in advance.

Welcome to the M3W familyđź‘‹

My dealer installed mine before I took delivery.

The pair of donuts with a hex in the center are like locking devices for the wheel nuts. Somehow they affix to the spokes, maybe zip ties? Mine are in a drawer.

Stephen thanks for the warm welcome and the photo.
Is the bracket attached on front side of the shock or the rear?
If you can take a photo of the top-view that would be great.
Thankyou!

This view has a bunch of wiring in the way of a clear photo. Add the armor to it and it gets ugly. A summer project is to tidy up what seems to be working fine.

Congratulations. Just as a thought, my local dealer has used those brackets to mount the headlights in their original position, but also kept lights in the current position; 4 lights. I can’t remember if he put fogs in the central position, but I remember seeing it and it looked good. Many of us have upgraded the stock lamps to much stronger aftermarket ones. Just ideas. Bottom line is you have taken ownership at a perfect time of the year!

Thanks a lot Stephen. Much appreciated!

I was able to install one bracket this afternoon. Will do the other one tomorrow. It was not easy and I wish the dealer could have done it.
Oh well. I suppose it was a way to get my hands dirty on the very first day, so it’s alright.

Took it for a spin in the canyons around our home. 60 miles of canyon driving is a nice way to start the Morgan experience I would say. Let the good times begin.

Thanks for the welcome, Joejoe
Yes, lots of ideas and opportunities to make it our own. Because I bought it from dealer stock, it’s not what I would’ve done with a custom order, but it drives just the same. Maybe I’ll do a vinyl wrap or other ways to personalize it. Fun times!
