I agree with Tom's recommendation (below) about the damper blades, and his
method of adjustment.
You should also check the 1/2' diameter rod next to the blade. If the bolt
that anchors the rod to the frame wiggles loose (mine did after tens years of
regular driving for some reason) you will get the standard 50mph shimmy.
Good luck,

P.S. to Will Z.
I haven't forgotten my promise to come visit, but Joyce has just acquired a bad
back problem and travel in the Morgan is right out for the moment.
