Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Super3-Accessorizing Almost Complete!

It's been a few months and getting all the parts from Morgan has taken time but the guys at Petrol Lounge here in Austin have been wonderful in helping me get my
Super 3 personalized the way I want it: Moto II, with a charger mount on the steering column, installing a USB port on the passenger side of the compartment below the dash, fitting the tonneau using Loxx stainless steel pins and snap buttons and finally, getting the accessory rails necessary to mount the side panniers. The vehicle has received a protective paint film and ceramic coating, and the underseat locking storage compartment has been installed. One of the last items is the installation of a set of vintage Smiths rally instruments- an 8 day clock and stop watch in black.
I'll try to post photos soon. I'm very pleased with the work these guys have done- they are perfectionists- and are very invested in getting this done right. Randy, one of the owners, is a M3W owner as well as a track instructor, and has been a driving force behind the work, along with Chris Naylor, who is able to disassemble and refit parts in a seamless way. Though not Morgan dealers, these guys have really proven their mettle. I'm enormously please with their work. And thanks to Talk Morgan members for chiming in on questions I raised along the way!

So, Phase I is done. I took it for a drive today, highway, country roads, hi-speed Texas byways, and the occasional routing through the local neighborhoods. Drove like a champ,despite some drizzle. Vehicle now home, which is not where I store it ( have an enclosed garage for that). Thinking of phase two. Brake lights that tie into the vehicle braking system, rather than some usb brake lights with accelerometers, open to suggestions. Would not mind figuring out how to lock the soft panniers, but they don't seem to accept standard locks zipper to zipper. What else? I drove in the rain, and it wasn't scary, I was wary of launching from a dead stop, but once underway, the vehicle handled with aplomb. I'm sure that other drivers thought I was a little crazy driving in the rain, but that is part of the experience. The guys at Petrol Lounge did me right, they were meticulous in every aspect of installing the accessories. The Moto II was OK, it could not find the "fun" route to a country road I know so I just did it from past experience-- Texas roads open up to 80 mph and I was not intent on speed, but this thing handled fine, as long as I wasn't launching from a dead stop in the rain.
La Bella Machina, at home, for a rest:
