Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Rear Spring Shackle Access?

Hi all,

I'm looking to check the tightness of my rear spring bolts and inspect the shackles on my 2012 Plus 4, the lower bolt head is visible but that's it.

To me it looks like to gain access to the nuts, upper bolt and shackles themselves, the rear overriders and rear valance need to be removed.

Please can someone confirm I'm on the right track?

Thanks, Dave.

As above, my rattle was a loose high level brake light not the spring shackle bolts.

In my case, Morgan crudely attached the thing with just two wood screws wound into the ash frame, below we can see if you got really lucky Morgan used four screws



As we can see, given the size of the slotted holes Morgan really should have used more suitable flanged wood screws, or at least fitted washers under the heads of their regular wood screws!

I have some 6x32mm TechFast screws in stock which should prove ideal, they have a causer thread for a better bite into the ash frame so will offer a far more secure fixing. TechFast screws have an integrated rubber washer that is perfect for spreading the clamping load either side of the slotted mounting holes, the rubber will act to limit vibration and will also offer a good friction grip to stop the high level brake ever coming loose again.



Job done, and done way better than Morgan's small headed wood screw effort
