I'm not sure that trads were ever actually 'designed'.........🤷🏻♂️..... if they were it was the thick end of 100 years ago......😁
They were probably more of a process of evolution with each addition made with little regard for what came before or will be needed after......😁
So...... with a century of bodging and fiddling by MMC there's hardly and wonder that the whole package is a compromise.......
However....... it's probably what makes them so good.......🤯
Cobra brake light........... a monstrous carbuncle, to quote HRH....... I know why it's there and it is probably vital..... but it looks terrible (imho)......
It is the first thing I take off, the look of the car is instantly improved by its removal........!!🤷🏻♂️

Many thanks all - I did work it out, accidentally tbh, but at least I got there!
Could someone explain how to post a photograph on a normal thread like this - in terms a child could follow?

Yes I agree with julian there! You can adapt a central brake light that just clips in to the plug where the cobra goes and then clip it to the rear rack for MOT purposes as some, if switched on, know it requires a high level brake light!
Whizjet, You don't have to remove the bumper bracket bolts to get the spare off, it was "designed" well as julian said not really, to swivel outwards after you have removed the T bar and it stands vertically.... yes in the way of getting the spare out!. Much more manageable without the cobra fitted, but do-able.

The nearest you get to a Haynes manual for pre CX trad morgans is gomog. www.gomog.comThere are links in there for handbooks for some models. It is possible to get a Haynes manual for a car that used the engine in your model too but only the engine and even then there might be some modifications to some parts. The Cobra high brake light...... I have one on my Plus Four, not the ones built into the hood. If carrying a suitcase on the rack it gets obscured so mine has a mod...Superseal connectors to allow disconnecting it and fitting an aftermarket LED brake light onto the suitcase, maintaining the extra light set up. When suitcase is removed it's a simple job to plug it back in.
