Dave, That reminds me of a Cosworth head. You've got a thing of beauty. Of course you are so right about having an all round drive which hits the sweet spot..... ask a Ferrari man sitting at the lights in town on a hot day, now that's a look of panic! With the Morgan you only have to stuff one element and it can ruin your driving pleasure. Unless of course you are aiming for a track car or similar. I once had a friend who had an RS 1600 escort and he was obsessed with lightening his flywheel and on his third attempt at getting it as light as he could he rogered it. So for a quick resolution he fitted a new standard flywheel and was shocked to find that it was the best drive he could remember from the car!

Re the shock absorber orientation. We had briefly chatted about it and I had said about the possibility of fitting the rutherford telescopic conversion which puts the mounting points in the correct orientation. Well I phoned Tim and had a brief chat asking if it was possible to fit these and still retain the hoop as it carried h/brake and wiring etc. plus of course gene some rear impact protection. He seemed fairly vague about what I was asking and suggested that I sent him some pictures of my car showing what I have got. I explained that it was a standard 2010 car and I just wanted to know if the Rutherford top mount brackets could be fitted without interference nit I kept the hoop. Long and short of it..... I gave up! I thought I was asking a fairly simple question but evidently not. Anyway I promised to let you know how it went after talking with him.
