Morris had 'wet' subframes (hydrospastic) and clubbies had 'dry' subframes (rubber cone). You can put dry subframes into a Morris, and vice versa (if you really wanted to).

err, not quite.

Aussie 850's, Cooper (not S), all Mokes and all Vans were dry. Mini Deluxe, Mini K, Mk1 and Mk11 Oz Cooper S and Clubmans to 1974 were wet suspended.

UK spec was different of course.

Of course you all forget the rarest Oz roundnose, the oft-neglected MiniMatics. They were wet too.

Of course. "Superior Hydrolastic Suspension". Catch me if you can, dudes! :lol:

Those guys (Watsons in the UK) also make pretty farquing dangerous wheel spacers for those Honda conversions - never mind the quality, feel the width.
