These are of course the original vehicles produced by Morgan. Non of them is newer than 48 years old, so there are precious few parts you can buy in Halfords (you can get high pressure grease nipples from them though).
As with any older vehicle, you need to be really ought to be a member of the relevant club, and for the UK (and to an extent overseas) the Morgan Three Wheeler Club is a must. If you don't yet own a car, then meeting people who do, is enormously helpful. In fact, members of this club are helpful, full stop.
My experiences with this breed are recent (I'm still rebuilding my Super Sports Aero). Therefore the maintenance hints are few and far between, I'm still learning.
Sliders
Kingpin and slider replacement is somewhat less of a chore than on four wheelers
owing to the lighter weight of the springs. The original (and many replacement)
sliders are cast from solid bronze, and should be replaced rather than rebushed.
If you do want to rebush, you will need a lathe, to make inserts, and probably
to make a space for them by boring out the sliders. However for racing purposes,
and any high stresses, steel sliders are probably the answer. These are
available from Colin Wilson in Horndon on the Hill.
Chains
Two speeders have two, and three speeders have one. It is standard 3/4"
chain and is easily obtained from agricultural engineers (do combine harvesters
have them?) and some bearing stockists. You can get a repair kit with odd links
and stuff which is a must for that tool kit. Look after them, lubricate them
and replace when signs of wear appear. Chain is cheaper than sprockets (much).
Bevel boxes
The bit of a two speeder that turns the drive through 90 degrees from propshaft,
to the countershaft that holds the sprockets and dogs. They are part of the chassis,
except for M and C type chassis, where they are removable, and therefore somewhat easier
to rebuild. I have rebuild my M type bevel, but I'll leave account of it until I've proved
that I got it right (ie finished the rebuild).
Engines
Morgan used lots of different types, but of the twins, only those of JAP and
Matchless are common. Blackburne, British Anzani, MAG and on very early cars
Peugeot engines were used, but supply of parts for some of these is almost limited
to re-manufacture to order, whereas, parts for the first two can often be had
off the shelf (from MTWC). The F types used a Ford four cylinder side valve
engine, which although sharing no parts with the much later Ford Kent, is clearly
from the same stable.
Bodies
Most are two seaters, although some four seater "family" models were
made - and still exist. Mr Morgan even made a van! No originals exist, although
perhaps 3 have been made based on other models.
