I am thinking about changing my front drums on my 1984 Mayfair to cooper s 7.5 brakes, can I use my original hubs or do I need to change them also.

if they are drum hubs, you will, if they are disc hubs, you wont.

Just seen a mini shell pop up on ebay near me. In the advert it says "vin number and v5c can be provided at extra cost". Makes you wonder why it's an extra cost as surely the shell should have a vin number attached to it. Reported.

Report them to VOSA/DVSA. The vin it part of the body and should never be seperated. Owner can keep the V5/registration as you can apply to DVSA for a new one if you have the vin

And another. This time vin plate and log book for a convertible. According to the advert it came with part of another shell. Again reported. Its the only way to keep our minis safe.

I agree about A series. For now I'm putting in a 1275 stage one.

What grommet can I use for the door wiring? Someone mentioned using MK1 or MK2 Golf door grommets recently but I can't find that mention now

I got mine on Ebay from someone who was breaking a metro. I just asked if they still had them and they did.
