The original Morgan column switch came from a Triumph Herald IIRC, but a standard one won't fit, you need to put an S bend into the shaft. This is a pretty fraught exercise, since (1) they are quite expensive and (2) there's a danger of kinking the tube.
I've done it twice now, I wrapped the stem in spiral banding to protect it and used the jaws of my bench vice to brace it whilst I put the bends in.

I think it was Ford Transit, but any BL one can be made to fit (I have one from an Austin Mini). However, I'm not sure how they'd fit on a '69 which has the indicator on a dash toggle switch I think.
You may have to bite the bullet and fettle the dash to make it fit. Column switches are so much easier - I've added a wiper column switch to mine as well.

Original was Ford Transit, MkII Cortina may be similar too but not sure.

I suggest that you have a look in the Car Builders Solutions catalogue, lots to choose from.

Switch is courtesy of Ford Transit Mk1, Ford Corsair and a version of the Bedford CF. If you know where to look and the right part numbers you can pick them up for less than 20 quid Arwyn
