Well spotted Neil. It’s a Toyota Celica gearbox. They used to be a very popular conversion as they are very tough. But hard to find these days and Ford 5 speed gearboxes have become more popular.
Thanks! The paint is a two pack and clear top coat applied by my local paint shop. You can do it yourself with a spray can, but a professional job is always going to be a bit better.
Nice video but you go straight from removing the horn push to undoing the nut. It’s rather more complicated than that. There should be a plastic tube, spring, washer and an e-clip holding the horn wire bullet connector in place. Are these missing on your car?
We’ll have to politely agree to disagree on that one. Production line photos exist. And the famous BmcEcosse (Roy), who was a senior BMC engineer, has confirmed it. But you can put it on the other way up if you like.
Yes, I’m very sure. At that time the “10 minutes to two” hand position was taught. It put your hands fairly high, so you could pull down on the wheel. No power steering on the Morris. When airbags were introduced, that position was dangerous as the airbag could blow your hands into your face or break fingers. So the “quarter to three” position took over. But you can put the wheel the spokes down if you like, and a lot of people do.

Thanks Paul.
If you can't get the appropriate imperial socket you can use a 33mm one
Good tip 👍
Good job, well done...did I notice a 5 speed gearbox in there or is it just a a 5 speed knob on the gearstick?

Great video. What type of paint did you use?
Thanks

Thanks for comment. On the ‘67 model the horn push comes out in one piece exactly as shown. There is no bullet connector in that location.
Spokes were fitted downwards when factory built, definately not upwards.

Are you sure the spokes should form a 'V'? The wheel looks upside down to me.

Just fit a Mountney and have done with it; much safer on earlier models not yet retrofitted with seatbelts.
One way to go. Although many prefer authenticity.
