George,
The factory would certainly be able to supply this. Most front
suspension/brake parts did not change significantly from the mid 1950s up
until the mid 1990's. The good old Morgan philosophy of "If it works don't
change it". The factory parts department happily take credit card orders
over the phone. If the parts are small enough to post delivery takes 6-8
days to Australia. This is quicker than I can get parts for my 1997 model
Mitubishi (6 weeks to replace faulty rear brake discs)! Price is usually
surprisingly low as well.
Cheers
Steve Moore
