Hi,
I've been working at getting the Mini (a 1992 SPI) MOT ready and I'm running into quite some issues, most of them regarding placement or fitting of things.

1. Cutting out a rotten floorpan, I accidently cut through a steel brakeline... So I've been looking for a replacement, but there are lot of types and I'm not sure which one to choose, so if somebody could leave a link of the brakeline I need, that would be perfect. The line starts at a distributor (the one going downwards on the 1st photo/ the left one on the second photo) or something and runs under the righthand side of the car, all the way to the rear wheelarch (see photos).  image.jpeg   43.81K   0 downloads  image.jpeg   55.06K   0 downloads

2. Staying on the topic of accidently cutting through things, I cut through a brown-blue wire near the exhaust manifold. Does anyone know what it's for? I'm assuming that it plugs onto the connector on the last photo, is that correct?

3. Then there's the heater. Does the black thing on the first photo go under(green arrow) or on top of the holes/inside the 'box' (red arrow) on the second photo?  image.jpeg   27.31K   0 downloads  image.jpeg   32.19K   0 downloads

4. The edges of the boot were completely rotten, so I replaced it with the 10" deep replacement plate of Minispares. Unfortunately I had to cut off the tank bracket and I'll have to weld it back in place now. Does anyone maybe have a picture of how it should look like?  image.jpeg   49.04K   0 downloads

5. I als found out that there's no rear exhaust bracket for the rubber mounting, so I bought a replacement one to weld on, if anyone had a clear closeup picture of where its mounted, that would be greatly appreciated.  image.jpeg   33.4K   0 downloads

6. I'm not sure how to mount the mirrors, am I missing a mounting kit or something maybe?  image.jpeg   29.6K   1 downloads

7. And finally the last one, how do you mount the heater cable?  image.jpeg   37.44K   2 downloads  image.jpeg   36.53K   1 downloads

OK, that was quite a post. Thanks for reading all the way to here, and ifyou know the answer to any of these questions, please let me know!

Ok, thx for the replies!
Nobody knows which brakeline I need?

[nicklouse]

just make one to fit.

[MacGyver]

Have a look on Minispares site or give them a call.
I guess from the pictures it's the one from front to back for a 85on car... But as Nicklouse said, you can just make one to fit.

Edit
I guess this should do: HMV102
But your first picture is misleading as you point to the front line and on the second the front/rear line.

Yeah HMV102 is probably the one, thanks!
