Richard could you write an article and provide photos for the 2025 edition of the MogFriends handbooks? If you want me to proof read etc and templates for the sensor mounts would be good, see you at the MogFriends party on Sunday from 12.. Rob

Not too good for speed awareness though.

I really like that song.. I also often think of it when out on the bikes... 1973 whew.. happy times... I wish my then ride a 500cc Triumph Daytona had been a bit more reliable.. when you got over 80 the tappet inspection covers had a habit of coming loose and flying off, you found out when the oil started to appear on yr legs.. ended up fitting aftermarket units with a hex key on them and wire locking them to the cylinder head..

I'm listening to it right now on my Klipschorn from 1973, which I was very happy to acquire in June and am now restoring a little. Golden Earring Radar love and these corner horns are made for each other... in heaven, as they say.

Back to the topic, I can still turn around, and I think you are very close to the end of the tail to see everything well. But I suspect that in a few years I won't be able to turn around well anymore. I think your measures are absolutely positive, Richard, and I will do something similar in the future. The biggest pitfall is that you don't think about it because the everyday cars we drive all beep all the time.

Still think LA Woman (LP) is a top listen, they were real talent.

I wired in a reversing camera. There's quite a few options available but after the fact ( fitting one) I think the Halfords one is probably the best and If I need to replace I will buy that version. It's easy to install, 12v socket plug for camera screen and picks up live at rear for camera from reversing light and earth from mounting bracket of same. Comes on when reverse selected and has guide lines for accuracy on the screen. Also has an option to fit a forward facing camera and is selectable on the switching on the internal screen. I mounted the screen on a 17mm ball stick on bracket centrally under the dash on the plastic trim..... all Morgan's not the same here though!
It works really well, I have a difficult manoeuvre into the garage I keep it in and as you know the door mounted mirrors although ok out on the road are fairly useless when tight manoeuvring is required. The car is also wider at the back than the front so you can't line the side of the car up with say a lift or wall as it will drive out of square. The guide lines on the screen let you keep the car straight as you reverse!

Shop around and you can get one for £100.
