Hi Geoff. I love the rear subframe suspension, I have been
contemplating the same thing for my next project (still way
off).
As with all complex vehicles requiring technical feedback I see
you have a 'black box' up front. Is that still an 03-803 in
there?? Brilliant !!

Thanks Geoff, just got chance to watch the video through, and
you've provided the solution to the spongy, dead feeling cable
drum on the Morgan. Hydraulic is the way to go, just ordered the
bits.

Modified Honda backplate. Cut off speedo drive with hacksaw,
clean up and create hole for alloy disc, weld or lock in with
grub screws (As shown) back plate is "handed" so one will need
extra mod, remove original cable fixing bolt on alloy block to
take slave cylinder as shown.
cheers, Geoff

Thanks Geoff, it should actually be quite simple on the back end
of the Morgan, at most it'll need a bushing in the eye the cable
runs through.

Just watched the video, very well done. Did you need the
following to get it street legal:
Front brakes
Twin rear brakes
Parking brake
Differential
Rear suspension
What size front lights (7” as on a Morris Minor)
Is your engine pull start or electric start
What speedo unit did use and where from
What cost is the RFL or is it free
We are just at the point finalising the chassis on our Riley and
if any of the above are required now is the time to incorporate
them.
All advice is much appreciated. Oh by the way we’ll done. I did
register a large scale steam traction engine that I built, but
that was a long time ago.
Are you going to Grimsthorpe?

A link to the DVLA Heavy Quadricycle manual is on a previous
post.
Four wheel brakes are required
parking brake on one axle
Differential, I did, but not sure?
Rear suspension, No, mine was fitted subsequently
Headlights, requirements take several pages of manual.
Pull start is OK, but an immobiliser is required.
A Chinese motorcycle speedo incoporating warning lights,
indicators, main beam, hazard, mileometer operated by magnets
fitted to final drive sprocket. from ebay £25ish.
Cost just over£100, I did not expect it to pass and just went to
see how close it would get.
Keep all receipts, to prove it is a new build, and keep it under
250kg or you will need seatbelts
I will be at Grimsthorpe.
Cheers, Geoff

pick brains.

Thanks a good read
[quote]Keep all receipts, to prove it is a new build, and keep

Which parts specifically do you need the receipts for ?
engine , brakes , transmission ?
wood ?
bolts/screws ?
paint ?
Does it then need a MOT every year ?
Can you swap registration for a non year plate later ?
Sorry lots of questions !
Paul
