Morgan - Morgan 3 wheeler
The Morgan 3 wheeler has a central backbone tube off which comes a ladder construction chassis. The four tubes at the front are the engine bearers and the independent suspension consists of a coil sprung sliding pillar on each side. At the front would be a V twin engine, with a shaft drive through the backbone to a bevel box with drive through chains (the drive chosen by the dog engaged) to a single rear wheel, held between a pair of elliptic springs. This concept was improved with a choice of engines throughout the years spanning 1910 and 1939, air cooled and water cooled.
The V Twin Morgan used various tyre sizes over its production. For the earliest cars Blockley produces the best beaded edge 26x3 tyre ever produced, which was quoted as 700x80 tyre size in their catalogue, with authentic tread pattern, along with a thick butyl inner tube to suit this tyre size only. For the later 3 wheel Morgans our authentic 400x19 tyre is perfect. Many fit these 400x19 for better handling on the new built Morgan 3 wheelers, while the Morgan company use the high quality Blockley inner tubes as standard on all their cars.
