Well that seems a nice installation are their any issues with the bellhousing (I assume its a five speed) or is it more or less a bolt in solution.
What size is it 1400cc and I see it has the eco fuel version with the cooking oil bottle :wink:

just the 1200cc and a 4 speed. 5 speeders are hard to get now and fetch good prices, Ive got one in the other morry behind the datsun 1500cc engine.

reason for the bottle is my fuel tank pickup is leaking air into the line so i cant get any fuel through. Its obviously just temporary

It looks really tidy and well sorted.
Not sure about the upholstery though :o

One other thing was is the rather unusual looking heater type box on the passenger side under the dash.

i think all our heaters were made locally by National Radiators so arent the same as what morris fitted to the deluxe versions in the UK.
