On the subject of heaters, my heater works very well when using the fan but it smells of fumes or exhaust gas, is this possible or has anyone else experianced this.

Personally, I found the +4SS rack ideal for fast road and track use; however, I'm not Steven grin2

Are you sure you heard him correctly? Didn't he say, "you are infamous on the internet"? arr wink

Whatever the case, you certainly had a lot of fun that day and were a pleasure to watch. thumbs

we were at least 12 from TM to have such good fun
I was looking to the pictures a week ago, to make a photobook
of that car, and saw the people who took my roadster on the Parade-lap, their smile: so rewarding!!!

Dear "SFO",

mind that "Chocolate" in itīs original form is a (highest quality..) furniture-leather (type "Montana") from Yarwood - and therefor quite sensitive...

I have my bespoke +4 equipped with it. Superbe quality, very soft īnīthick to the touch, but: sensitive..

If you need "advise" and/or pictures...

Jochen

Hi Steven and all other "petrolheads" around here..

The steering SHOULD be quick(er), as it is (supposed to be) the Aero Racing 3-turn steering rack (in oppostion to the 3,3 fitted to usual trads) - so interesting to read, it feels "slower".. scared

BUT: the steering manufacturer DOES still exist and is ready to provide you (Steven) and may be me with up/down to 2,4 gears... grin2

I (pre)ordered my 3.7 with the 3,0 "fast rack"....up to now! innocent

But my near future testride of both cars will hopefully clear that! thumbs

the spec sheet for the +4 SS does state "3 turn steering rack"

The Morgan Plus 4 SuperSports does have the quick rack (3 turn steering rack).

Steven (1560) is simply stating a preference for an even quicker rack (which used to be available from an aftermarket supplier; however, there is a question as to whether they are still in business). I'm not used to lazy steering and I find the Plus 4SS to be quick enough - anything more and I can imagine it being far too skittish for road use.
