Looking for a set of bleeder screws for calipers and a radiator cap. Should be easy enough to find, or so I thought. The local motor spares places don't have either and the bolt place I was told to check with, is closed.

Try meeting at a pub or coffee shop, that normally helps us!

I've asked the group if people would be keen to meet up for coffee on Sunday, hopefully there is some interest.

Yeah, but for 7.5" calipers and also just the metal cover. I suppose I'll have to buy a new kit... sigh.

Sorry GRK5006 for 7.5 and I don't know anyone who sells just the metal press in piece.

I forget how its wored for now, but think theres instructions on here somewhere on how to wire it... I did it about 18 months ago, and never left my lights on since :)

Dont quote me, but I think its wored between lighting circuit behind dashboard/binnacle and then just earthed....

I ordered bits on Thursday my time from MS, via DHL......arrived in country 24hrs later......now the last 140km from airport to here will take 3 days

Vinay-RS

Yup, probably DHL SA that is the problem. Rather inefficient customs office.

Yeah, I've not even seen a clubman locally with one of the three spoke steering wheels.

Yeah... They raised a Health and Safety "concern" at work, which was where I was able to play on the mini... not too sure what the next option is.
Mar 26 2017 11:51 AM

Vinay-RS

I do hope they look good when they come back. Quite keen to get the cylinder head back too.

Cheers Dom. Hopefully the mini can finally get some much needed mechanical tlc too.

What are you looking at? Something fancy from KAD perhaps? ;)
Feb 26 2017 02:11 PM

Just a good modified 12g202 with unleaded inserts will be more than enough.
Feb 26 2017 02:18 PM

Vinay-RS

Nicely ported and gas flowed, it will make a good difference.
