Sadly no. The two rod ends have 90 deg bends that fit vertically and horizontally into the connecting clip ( block), plus on the door handle side the rod has a spring over it that tensions against the plastic clip, the distance the rod fits in the clip is semi critical, because it both operates close to full spring compression and could be coil bound if not positioned exactly in the clip, plus the clips dimensions need to be correct to operate the door lock safely.. Hence why the work undertaken to 3D print a clip that is to the correct dimension.
Hope my explanation makes some sense.

Check this link.

My hunch is that this connector is exactly what you need.

.....and interestingly the MGB (robbed from the Marina) handle rods and rod connector are almost identical to the plus Four set up.

Not the same, but close, I can see where the design comes from though. 😀

Agree that whilst the black connector available from MGOC spares is not absolutely identical to the white connectors fitted to Morgan P4/P6, my suspicion is that they will be functionally the same and that all the critical dimensions in terms of the rods clipping in to the top channels with the rod right angle hooking into a hole will all be correct dimensions or near enough. At £4 a pop, I will order a couple to find out!

....and they are available 3D printed on eBay. I have to say I really do think we will find these are interchangeable with the Morgan connectors.

I received a pair of the "Connectors - Handle to Link Rod" from MGOC Spares (£3.95 each) earlier today. They are almost certainly 3d printed items, but none the worse for that. Furthermore I am 95% certain they are identical to the connectors as fitted to CX Morgans 2019 - 2023. I cant be 100% sure because I do not propose to remove my lower door card and go through the rigmarole of fitting one to further check it out. But having done so a number of times quite recently - while fitting replacement door speakers, sound deadening and fleece - and having taken plenty of photos, these connectors look identical apart from being black as opposed to white.

Davetherave my apologies if this rains on your parade in any way, but hopefully it is positive news that may save you the time and expense of a limited run of 3d printing.
