This goes against any reference materials that I have. They
all say the Midget 1500 is the Morris unit.
It also spawns a problem, just what exactly is IN those
99 pound kits to convert a Midget 1500 to take a spitfire
tranny?
The kit was reviewed by MG enthusiast and they went into
depth about cutting, welding, and fabricating the members
to make it all fit in the car.
I don't really see how it could be the same, although I have
never compared them. Just going on readings.
