Original Morriservice Adapter Plate  
 
Here is an original Morriservice adapter plate, probably installed by Bruce Wyman himself. It is in a 1959 Morris Traveller that the current owner bought with this already installed. When the transmission was removed, probably for the first time since it was installed, a stock 1098cc clutch was found as part of the original installation. The flywheel will be converted to accept the Datsun clutch before being reinstalled into the Traveller.
