A great project John and useful information for anyone else embarking on the same task.
I recently did a similar task on a non-Morgan and in spite of having very basic electrical skills, and fearing I'd end up with half a dash and a lot of malfunctioning parts, I managed to get everything back together and the new stereo working. It took me back to the days of my youth where I installed a single cassette deck, with one single button (that was both fast forward and ejected the tape), and a set of small home stereo speakers into my ancient, and very rusty, VW Beetle. Latterly I progressed to installing 'shuttle decks' and then onto stereos with removable faceplates; however, the Beetle install was the one that I felt most out of depth doing and scrolling forward nearly four decades, I felt back to square one with the latest project, having not done anything similar in at least three decades!
Wishing you a fair wind for the rest of your project and look forward to seeing the next update.
