    My motivation is there, however spare time to get in the garage is sadly lacking

Will a rev counter from the 3 clock dash work with electronic ignition? E.g. a k series

    Cheers guys, hmmm thats strange, imo I would have thought one from a MPI would work on a k series as they are both full injection systems

    mpi uses a coil pack and sends a twin signal or summit like that, all other mini just a coil

    Once I get mine all set up I'm going for max 2.5 as I've already had the fixed 2 degrees arms.

Would 3mm plate be too thick to reinforce the front floor, ala solid subby mounts

Can I paint an aluminium block with hammerite? Should I use a primer?

    It was meant as tongue in cheek haha, my laughing face got replaced with those question marks! I think I'll just try it, with acid etch primer.

My hilo's are wound right down and my new cones still have a 2" arch gap, someone tell me it'll settle?!

    some of those new cones are not made correctly and lift the car miles to high, I had the issue with the ones from p&l minis before took them off in the end.

    My new cones have never really fully settled, as above I've heard a lot about more recent cones making the car sit too high. Hopefully yours will after a while tho.

    I meant getting to the bolt that tucked up under the scuttle, and fitting the nylon washers all in place at the same time! Speedo cable is easy with no inner wings ;) and the clutch master cylinder was a utter ******* too!
