Just boxed the twin carbs. Hopefully send them off tomorrow. Any problems sending carbs through Royal Fail? :/

Fancy :) We, sadly have to rebuild carbs ourselves. I'm quite keen for the challenge though.

Your carbs should look brand new when they're done. What are they for?

Does anyone still sell the old rubber type flooring found on early Mini's?

-

Some on the Mk1 Forum have looked into this but cost of manufacture for small quantities is too expensive.
'59 Register sell the early boot mat below but not cheap.....
The 1959 Mini Register have had a limited run of full length boot mats reproduced. These
are good copies of the original mat and are £195.00 each including UK Mainland postage.

Where does everyone make their signature graphic from (the one that displays your own mini as a graphic?)

-

It's called miniselecta. Make your mini, save the image, upload to an image hosting site and paste the code in your signature field..

Yes but only IF it's being used on the road between stages of an organised race event.
He will however get fined for those black & white number plates.

I never knew that the SU in SU Carbs stood for Skinner Union. Thanks for that Edd China.

Got a really loud grinding sound at low revs.... thinking alternator bearing or waterpump...

-
Steve220
Get a long screwdriver and place the end on the alternator and your ear the other side, you'll hear it louder if it is the spot thats worn.

Check the 'Tell Tale Hole' on the underside of the water pump, if coolant is dribbling out your bearings are failing and the coolant is washing out the lubricated and sealed bearings.

Recently a couple of nice project minis have come up for sale... I wish I had a garage where I could store and build a project mini :\

-
Vinay-RS
I actually had a look last week. There are a few close by, but the rent is the same as an entire apartment!?

Are they in high demand there then? Here you can rent a garage for about £35 a month
Nov 19 2016 01:29 PM -
Vinay-RS
Wow, even converting that to Rand it is still cheap. The ones I've seen here are about R2000 (~£110) for a 3m x 3m garage. It could be that there aren't that many self storage type places close by, so limited supply drives up the prices.
