Morris Minor Owners Club

I am restoring my pickup for the second time. Some upgrades are being done at the same time namely a ford type 9 gearbox & 1275 midget lump. I have also just acquired a ford escort axle but am keeping the original morris axle just in case it doesnt work out.
Question, Can the Van wheels be fitted to an escort axle? I know the pcd will be wrong as is but wondering if drums half shafts on the ford can be modified to take the van wheels. I do have a milling machine & a lathe that will take the shafts & drums etc.

Thanks for that, The van wheels are a good set of five & i would rather keep them if at all possible!

Just found some more piccies... ..and I only have a baby lathe and pillar drill...

I have a Harrison 140 lathe and an Arboga Mill, that is doable on them no problem!
