Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Super 3 Questions: Maintenence & Accessories?

So, some maintenance and accessory mounting/installation questions for the Super 3:

1. oil change- I have no garage or carport here, gravel drive. Not great for jacks, stands or the like. I figure a sympathetic mechanic (one shop here does vintage British cars and seemed to be receptive to working with me, whereas a lot of the hot rod shops weren't interested)--would have the ability to raise the front end--a ramp would be ideal-- simply to open the oil sump drain pan. After that, filling shouldn't be a big deal, and from the owner's manual, it appears that changing the filter can be done through a slot on the side of the vehicle front end.
2. Beeline Moto II- I want to hardwire this- Beeline makes a charging adapter that the MotoII will fit into, I just need to figure out how to mount that to the Morgan Beeline bracket (assuming Morgan will sell my dealer the bracket). Not sure if Morgan is still working with Beeline to get their latest equipment--I'm not trying to save pennies, more about getting it set up with a hardwire, rather than dangle a usb cable to a usb plug.
3. USB ports- the example I bought doesn't have them. I see that on the examples where the port is installed, it is cut into that plate beneath the dash. Rather than cut into it, I thought I'd buy a billet usb port to hang from the bottom of the dash and hardwire that into the vehicle electrics. These days, everything is going to usb-c. Don't know if the Morgan USBs are the older, larger USB type.
4. Steering wheel-- I got that nice Moto-Lita. Dennis pulled off the center cover of the standard steering wheel and showed me how the wheel bolted on to a metal "ring"--the Moto-Lita has a different hole configuration--his tech's suggestion was to pull that ring and simply drill it to match the Moto-Lita bolt holes. In speaking with Craig L about quick release adapters, I don't know if there is an easier, cleaner way to do this, or to order what I refer to here as the "ring" so I don't molest the factory item.
5. I am renting garage space very close to my house, it is a condominium garage with security cameras, and fairly reasonable. My plan is to house the vehicle there during driving season, and when winter comes, store the vehicle at the Petrol Lounge here, which is like a high end "club" for people who store collectible cars, racing cars, etc. One issue is that the condo garage does not have any 120 volt power plugs for a trickle charger. I guess as long as I am driving it regularly, that shouldn't pose a problem, but I always had a garage in the past, and everything was connected to trickle chargers- bikes, cars, etc.
I am ordering the mohair tonneau, the steering column nav mount for the Beeline and a Covercraft all weather cover. Any input or thoughts on any of the above would be welcome.
Thanks,

One from me: has anyone fitted a central rear view mirror to their Super 3? I know that I've seen one in a photo of a Yas Marina blue one that was for sale pre-owned a few months ago. Presumably, they screwed it into some sort of cold shoe fitting locking into one of the cockpit accessory rails...any suggestions for where I might find one?
Many thanks

Hi beard
Greetings and an ideas from germany for a central mirror on your super 3.
I bought such a mirror in germany from a motorcycle accessoires company " Louis"
Two pack ( right /left) for 22 €
Installation is very easy.
The thread of the mirror can be screwed directly into the center screw connection.
If you are not carrying any luggage on your carrier,you have a wonderful rear view.😀
But pur most important view is always ahead!!
Regards
Henry

Many thanks Henry - that sounds perfect.
Next search is for a good outdoor cover. Deposit just paid...picking my Super 3 up in 2 weeks, so getting quite excited!
Beard

Henry- when you say the mirror "can be screwed directly into the center screw connection" are you referring to the accessory rails on the inside of the wind deflectors? I was hoping Morgan offered some sort of generic mount that fit their accessory rails for a variety of things, including mirrors, but apart from a cup or phone holder, did not see any.
Thanks for a more detailed explanation of how the mirror would be fitted to the Super 3.

We are on this earth with the most beautiful and funniest car on earth.
The accessor rails : in the middle between the wind reflectors,you will find two
screws for fastening the accessor rail.
Unscrew one screw.Screw from the mirror and the accessor rail is fixt again.
The second screw from the accessor rail: I fixt a ' Quad lock'holder for a power bank.(phone power supply)
Mobile TelephonePower with a very short USB cable
not a 1 m long usb,from the orginal socket to the mobile phone holder.
I recommend the orginal cell phone holder,that morgan offers.I use this for my phone.
Henry

Henry- thank you that makes perfect sense. I there a particular mirror that fits well and looks the part? And is the bolt/screw dimension for the mirror the same as that used on the accessory rail?
I did ask the dealer to order the phone mount, which I'll use to "inform" the Beelive Moto II that I plan to mount on the steering column. Vehicle is supposed to leave LA today for Texas.
Best,
