The only real works on the subject that I'm aware of on the net is
my series located on SOL's tech page: http://www.team.net/sol/tech/
the select Morgan restoratoin.

In addition, several of the clubs have home pages but so far not a
lot of docs.

Morgan homepage-Maintained by Angus Marshall the Brave Scot.

Unfortunately, info on these is sketchy.  I've been trying to get
more info on these cars for the parts Xref list.

My series as a 3 page list of suppliers and 12 page parts xref.

I hate to say this but **good luck**.  I haven't been able to get any
information on the brake drums and the chrome cowl will be pretty 
expensive.  If you want I'll type up a list of clubs through out the
country and post them later.

It is almost impossible to take the skins off the door.  What I would
suggest is taking the inner panel off the door to expose the wood.
Use West System epoxy and their filler to rebuild the wood in place.
I did that for the lower front of the rear wheel arches.  Works great!
Also discussed in my articles.
