no.
the moggy is 4"pcd and nothing modern uses it as a stud pattern.

In a word no Morris minors have 4inch pcd (101.6 mm) modern cars have 100mm pcd they will fit but will bend the studs and run the risk of the snapping the studs under braking and losing a wheel but I think vans and pickups have diffent pcd but not sure

The Series MM and early Series 2 used Morris suspension and brakes. From 1954 on they had Austin mechanicals inflicted on them.

Austin A40
Riley 1.5

Gday guys, I'm posting from Tweed Heads NSW Australia. So, if I understand correctly, the earlier Moggies had a 4.5" PCD. Is everything else the same? Will the earlier hubs fit onto my Series II spindles? I would like to run a 4.5 "PCD to match the Datsun 1600 (510) IRS I plan to install on my ute. I am also planning on running R31 Skyline disc brakes on the rear. They come with a cable operated handbrake.
