I am looking at a Morris gearbox on ebay for the DLM
The seller has sent photos and measurements and they match the e93a / 100e bell housing.

The top cover and gear-lever are missing
How easy is it to source a top cover and stick ?
Or has anyone got one they could sell me.

I presume there is a Morris 'Driver / Owner / Car' club I could join ??

A piece of Morris will not be amiss as it had some morris parts originally

Thanks for any help with this

Hi,

The 3 & 4 speed Morris 8/SE box's have the same bell housing fitting, the gear sticks and covers are different.

Thanks for the offer Tim

I've gone and bought the one on ebay, Been looking for a four speed on and off over the years.

Dave
ain't that the way, the part I need is different haha.

If it comes to the push I'll have to make a cover and gearstick mount.

If it's missing the cover it will almost certainly be missing the detent springs and ball bearings for the selector rods, from memory 6 mm ball bearings do the job and 12mm length springs.

Cheers

Dave

I hope you enjoy the 4 speed, it transformed my eight when I changed over last Christmas! - well worth the effort.
The four speed on my Wolseley is nowhere near as good - but I am hoping to address that soon.......
