Ive managed to find a 90 degree speedo adaptor on ebay. Nos Smiths for a good price so that will solve the speedo cable problem

Hi, you got a link for this? I'm looking for the same.
Cheers

Entered my first car show last weekend. Selwyn Motor Fest. There were around 900 cars on show
Came away with the award for best British car.
Was pretty chuffed
Here's some photos from the day

Hey thats awesome!!!
Ive been away from the forum for awhile, been enjoying driving the mini instead of writing about it haha.
And now........Ive decided to Supercharge it 🤯
Thats why I ended up back on your thread....Im looking into the Aldon Amethyst setup. You find it easy to work with?

Finally managed to get the mini on the dyno Just a couple of power runs to see what it was like
Fuelling was out at top end so I will profile the needle some more before returning
Managed 76HP at the wheels and should gain a few more once fuelling is sorted and advance curve checked

Also got some new door hardware from Dsn

Yes - but work commitments get in the way of doing most of the runs. Never miss the day with the Mini 7's at Ruapuna though!
