In addition, Morgan development was integrated with its on-going production, so each vehicle reflected the state-of-the-art on the day it passed through the factory doors for the first time. Nothing was standardized, not even basic chassis dimensions (only in 1933 did Morgan adopt a standard chassis).<\/p>\n<p>The following sketch summarizes how many Morgan Aero cockpits were arranged, although exact placement of instruments and controls varied considerably.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/aero\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aero-dash.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/aero\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Aero-dash.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"925\" height=\"662\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-612\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Throttle, air, and ignition controls were attached to the steering wheel spokes, in the manner of a motorcycle handlebar, with cables inelegantly passing through the wheel. A long lever for mechanical front brakes was placed on the center tunnel but the rear brake was operated via a foot pedal. Meanwhile, another foot pedal operated the clutch but actual shifting required using a right hand gear lever. Note that shifting and applying front brakes at the same time meant no hands on the steering wheel! <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_688\" style=\"width: 340px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/aero\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ammeter.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-688\" src=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/aero\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ammeter-330x327.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"330\" height=\"327\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/aero\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ammeter-330x327.png 330w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/aero\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ammeter-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/krissmotors.com\/aero\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/ammeter.png 459w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lucas ammeter circa 1928<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A Lucas 16-ampere ammeter designed for motorcycles with a 52mm diameter may have been fitted into a round switch housing that also included toggles for the headlamps and running lights. <\/p>\n<p>A horn button and bullseye sight gauge to check oil flow typically finished off the cockpit.
