steering wheel

Post by Onne »

What should it be. The steering wheel boss ( not the horn assembly) on SMM/57197(LHD)
Original Morris Minor is talking about early and later series MM. But when DID it change from brown to gold? Or is that just on the later series MM 4drs?

I know I did ask you Bill... and yes I would prefer it brown, but my preferences are not an issue

I'm not sure EXACTLY when they changed over but as a rule of thumb, I have always thought the lowlights were brown and the highlights (2 & 4 door) gold barring close changeover models (1950).

Sorry Onne, I mentioned to Cam that I had said I would confirm this to you and didn't. :oops: It should be brown as I explained during the Website Rally.
