Send a email question of general interest directly GoMoG indicating "The Experts Panel" and it will be presented to the Panelists for response in sequence. There will be an short announcement on the Morgan Mail List of the permanent posting here of each response.
It is hoped this format will provide the Panel with a method of dealing with issues in greater depth and contemplation than would be convenient to email at length to the List and yet it will allow our community to benefit from an access to the immense expertise and experience this Panel represents. It is our intention to modify this format as experience and your suggestions require.

EXHAUST
I have a 1987 Plus 8 and I have decided to change to a twin exhaust system. Is there a difference in the performance between cast and tubular manifolds?From: Per Axelsson
STEERING
Following Fred Birkenbeck of Australia's lead of converting his Morgan's steering to an Alfa 33 rack...What readily available (in the USA), rack and pinion will fit to a '60's Morgan...Spitfire? Chevy Citation? Tony in NJ (W.A.S.T.E.)
SUSPENSION
What are your preferred solutions to the problem of extending the life of the kingpin bushings? M. Boulet.
There are two upgrades
for rear suspension offered for my car. One is a system where the shocks
are attached from the rear wheels hubs inwards to a tubular bar stradling
the car. The other system has the shocks attached to brackets fixed on
plates at the axle U-bolts and angled upwards to a bracket attached to
the sides of the car. Any thoughts on either. Do they help?
