Restoring the Morris Minor steering wheel. 

You’re very welcome Becca

Thanks George

Thanks Paul.

Many thanks!

Good tip 👍

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 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.

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.

One way to go. Although many prefer authenticity.

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.

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.
