I had a good conversation with Craig. He confirmed my diagnoses that it was the master cylinder due to the blackened DOT4 fluid that came out via the bleed valve when I bled the clutch line! The part is apparently available in the USA, but I have not been able to locate the source. If the party who shared that with Craig would share that via a post here or a PM to me, I would be very grateful.
Thanks to everyone,
Will Stotts

Thanks everyone.
Well thanks to Craig at M3WServices I have the part on order from the only responsive Morgan dealer in the USA, Morgan Motors of New England. M3W owners in the USA take note!
Irony abounds! This was the third order they had received in as many days. Mine will have to come from the UK to NY state and then be reshipped to CA.
I’m losing the last decent month to motor in the desert, but I bet after the repair I find a few mornings where the temps are down to the low 30’s C.
Going to try and do the swap through the access port over the pedal box, instead of pulling the pedal box out. Any suggestions either way are appreciated.

I have found Morgan of NE to GREAT. Their tech guy talked me through a relay issue on our plus 8. They talked to the local auto shop as well. Plus Plus Plus!

If you unbolt the pedal box so you can move it around in the footwell but don't fully remove it you will find access to the master cylinder through the inspection hatch easier.

This recently happened to me. The clutch master cylinder failed and I was able to procure a replacement from Morgan Motors of New England. There was a recent thread about the combined brake and clutch fluid. When replacing the fluid you have to bleed both the brake and clutch lines and replace all the fluid in those two systems. Mine was serviced outside of the Morgan dealerships and my clutch lines were never bled, only the brake side.
