There are two different splines used on the Sprite/Midget.  The early  
splines are smaller than the later splines.  The early small splines are  the 
same as some early Triumphs like the Herald.  Your options are to  either find 
an early small splined boss and wheel or fit the later larger spline  
column and buy something new off the shelf.  It's possible but not cheap to  
have 
a boss made from solid alloy bar for the small spline column.

All the  Sprites at least up to the 1500cc triumph motor are the same 
spline. And I  believe the Morris is the same.
