This bracing is common on cars that are raced and becoming common on road
cars as it is supposed to improve the suspension rigidity as well as
reducing the tendency for the wings to split around the sidelight mountings
. I have not seen any Drawings. Dave Rutherford at Techniques in the UK
provides a kit which I fitted which seems to be no more than a pair of tubes
flattened at the end positioned so that they are as far back as possible
without (almost) fouling the tyre on full lock. Seems pretty effective as
well.

Does anyone have original type drawings of the Upper Cross Axle Brace,
our Morgan Super Sports has these tubes that go from the frame to the top
of the front suspension, and we are trying to find more on what they were
put on for. We do know our car raced, and that this term was used on
her building notes at the factory.
Any help appreciated, she also had a 2 degree negative camber. Car #5381
