Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - CX Parts Rip off

So... just found out that for the early Plus Six and Plus Four cars ( pre inner door handle redesign ). That the small plastic clip that connects the internal door handle catch operation rods together is now not sold separately. You have to purchase the complete inner door handle to get a clip.. at £110.00 +VAT per side. I suspect the clips value would be around £1.50 at most.

This clip, as mentioned several times on this forum has a habit of coming off or failing, if the clip is in OK condition and can be reused then Tie Wraps around the clip and rod will hold it together. In our case it came off and deformed in heat.. So it looks like I will be purchasing some Nylon 66 oblong bar and making clips on the milling machine.

I cant believe that Morgan are not stocking the items that keep the mechanicals connected.... what next.. maybe to change the spark plugs you have to buy the engine?? ( Joke )...

Correct John, its basic, and luckily I have the equipment and time to do it. However, a lot of owners do not.
Anyway, better close the subject.. nothing to gain.. I have had my rant.😁

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.
