Hello again good mini people,
the last few weeks have been tough, failed wheel bearing, blown gasket and just now I found the car was making funky noises. Fortunately I had removed all matting from the front and with my left foot I felt the subframe mounting plate MOVING !
The chassis iis split in several places around the front driver's side subframe mount. I am cleaning it up, and guess I shall weld all the cracks.
Is there a standard course of action for strengthening this area. I saw a poster who has done a very extensive rebuild, Petrol Pete I think he is called, put an extra plate on the outside of the chassis
I was thinking of welding an extra plate to the inside of the chassis. All advice very welcome. I think my mini is wanting more TLC these days ;)
I will post the pix when I get back in from work tonight. Back on the bicycle again already !!!!
