Morgan 3 Wheeler 'Bleazey' Chain Drive Conversion Kit'

Designed by Phil Bleazey specifically for the Morgan 3 Wheeler, this kit replaces the original belt-driven final drive with a conventional chain and sprocket system.

The conversion provides an alternative to the original belt arrangement and has become a well-known upgrade among Morgan 3 Wheeler owners. The kit includes all of the principal components required for the conversion, including the front and rear sprockets, carriers, chain and necessary fasteners.

Why convert to a Phil Bleazey Chain Drive?

• More tolerant of drivetrain movement – a belt drive relies on the front and rear pulleys remaining rigid and accurately parallel to maintain correct belt tracking. The Morgan 3 Wheeler drivetrain can struggle to maintain this alignment in operation, resulting in belt-tracking problems, noise and potential damage. This upgrade kit.....
• Eliminates belt-tracking noise – removing the belt eliminates the noise associated with belt misalignment and incorrect tracking.
• Prevents belt-tracking damage – eliminating the belt removes the risk of tracking problems causing contact with, and damage to, surrounding components such as the belt guard.
• Easier chain replacement – the chain can be changed without removing the rear swinging arm.
• Improved transmission efficiency – a chain drive can be approximately 3% more efficient than a belt drive.
• Readily available replacement chains – replacements are easy to source, and a spare is compact enough to carry on longer journeys.
• Flexible gearing options – changing sprocket sizes allows the final-drive gearing to be tailored for different uses, such as hill climbing or motorway driving.
• Reduced unsprung weight compared with the original belt-drive arrangement.
• Simple maintenance – the chain is easy to inspect and lubricate and, with appropriate maintenance, should provide around 20,000 miles of service.
• Reduced load on the bevel box – lower chain tension may help reduce operating temperatures within the bevel box.

The conversion kit includes:

• 1 × Rear sprocket
• 1 × Front sprocket
• 1 × Rear sprocket carrier
• 1 × Front sprocket carrier
• X-ring sealed drive chain
• All necessary fasteners
• Thread-locking compound

Installation

This is a specialist mechanical conversion and requires the existing belt-drive components to be removed and the new sprockets and carriers correctly installed and aligned.

Please ensure you are familiar with the installation requirements before ordering.
