The problem with that Displacer is that it's an orphan. Not a great idea fitting a single new displacer with 3 other old ones.

The more accurate label is the expensive one.
Seller has replied to enquiry that the cheaper label is only printed not embroidered.

BMC dealer shed clearance in Australia occasionally throws up some real gems.

NOS horn push surround:

NOS Interior mirror:

Pretty sure these are the same parts as UK, not made locally in Australia.

The mirror has "Made in England" on the back. I used to work at the petrol station attached to the workshop there and the range of parts there is amazing.

Looks like the pulley is missing and part of the metering pin - but correct Mk1 Mini set up...
