You might want to contact Cantab Motors in Purcellville, Va. A year or so ago
they were toying around with NOS Studebaker rear ends which had to also be
modified (??narrowed??) to fit the Morgan motorcar. I spoke with a Morgan Fuller
540 338 3751 at that shop. He's still there; I saw him at Summit Point raceway
in late November. Don't know if they were actively modifying these rear ends
for Morgans or not, but a quick call would probably answer your questions.
