Hi Everyone,
I just signed up to Talk Morgan and I'm so excited to finally be part of the Morgan Family on this forum. I have just bought a Grey with Brown interior 3 wheeler and I'm waiting for the little guy to receive the temporary plates by tomorrow evening! So fingers crossed, I should be able to do some driving over the weekend!
I do have a few questions though. I am 6'1 tall and I did notice that my knees are touching the bottom of the steering wheel. Now I checked the 3 Wheeler's pedal position. When looking down at the plate supporting the pedals, I can see that it has been moved quite far forward already, as there are 2 holes at the front of it in the floor pan that are visible.
Can it move further forward in your opinion? I was also considering changing the original steering wheel to a smaller one? Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Moody

If you mean two sets of two holes then the pedals are (I think) as far forward as they go. But if the 2 holes are side by side then you can move the pedals forward further.
I am about 6' tall and with the pedals furthest forward I have no trouble with the steering wheel, although the clutch pedal gets a little bit squashed.

Thanks very much Wirewheel. Wiscos thank you for the help, yes I meant 2 sets of 2 holes, it's all a bit confusing for a newbie :-)

Congratulations Moody, must be a great feeling!! The pedals seems be able to be positioned in three different "lenghts" (photos showing front position). Maybe it could even be moved one step forward....but then you need to construct a new way to fasten the front of the brake arrangement (not sure about the space or if the hoses and everything else works, maybe it is even easier on a LHD car).

wow, those pedals looks extremely easy to adjust from this perspective. I wonder how much more difficult it will be when the paneling is all on.
