Can you please clarify exactly what you did for the sake of anyone else who reads this...

You managed to get it working by entering your MBHD seed into ElectronCash and using the path of m/0'?
Or you used the BIP39 tool (and m/0'/0 and m/0'/1) to get private keys and imported private keys into ElectronCash?

I followed these steps below. The important part is that i tried the first part before(read it somewhere) and always copied the "BIP32 Extended Private Key",
which does not work(im a noob), but where he says to set the client to custom and change the derivation path is where the breaktrough happend.
I found my BTC wallet address after doing those steps and just copied that private key next to it, and it worked perfectly.


Manual method:
- Create offline version of https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/
- Put in your MultiBit HD seed
- Set Derivation Path -> BIP32
- Set Client = "MultiBit HD"
- Copy all the address/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used)
- Set Client = "Custom" -> Set Derivation Path = m/0'/1
- Copy all the change addresses/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used)


Once you have all your private keys:
- In Electrum -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> Create a new seed
- Once wallet is created, "Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep"
- Paste in all the private keys you got from automated or manual method
