I believe Cain subcontracts out all of his manufacturing

Simon,
he is not alone doing that I would guess. He does make in house as well. The main point is he designs it all and trests it on Mogs. He supports a Mog race car which is a test device as well.
John

We manufacture everything in house, except brake callipers

I also test everything on race cars

The ARV6 we support won the series outright last year

I’d estimate 95% of the grid has parts I’ve made fitted to their race cars

true but it to his specs and design plus his expertise in setting up.

Exactly. He & Michele are very good at that part. Plus Michele is very good at fettling redesigned adjustable Roadster throttle pedals upside down in the drivers footwell.

I am one happy customer.

Simon I am also a happy customer of your kit.

Paul,
go and talk to Tim & Darren at New Elms. I lve near Bath and find them endlessly helpful.
I fall into the high mileage class of Morganistas - 15,000 in two & half years. When I mentioned this to Darren his comment was:
"I wouldn't if that was my car!"
"can you fix it?"
"Yes. Leave it with me for a day"

Note: if you're serious and haven't replaced the factory front suspension, do so. Both New Elms & Wolf Perfomance regard this as a given (I suspect SimonH will say the same). Neither of them will touch SSL front end (and two nearby main delaers were unable to set the SSL front end up properly). Darren's solution was to replace it with the Rutherford front end; Cain's solution is very similar.

Miraculous. I toured northern Scotland this Summer and my 4/4 (2013 model) was brilliant.

I've had long chats with Tim & Cain and conclude that Cain is more race orientated - not my cup of tea. Phone them!

If you're a 'Sunday Luncher' then live with it but if you enjoy driving (let's say 4,000+ a year) it's worth paying for the improvement.

If you'd like to meet up to chew the fat then PM me

just to show that there are diverse opinions on this and many may be right, but I am of the view that the SSL mod for the front is just plain brilliant- stops all the nodding and greatly improves the roadholding. Mind you, mine was very expertly set up by Laurie at Williams in Bristol!! Totally transformed the car - even my wife noticed it!!!!

I'll be sure to give him a ring and have a chat. Thanks for the input everyone.
