That is going to look very sweet on your mini. Guessing it is going on the mini. Do you have a clubby?

I want a clubby, tempted to swap my front end for one eventually. Just a dark grey roundnose. Currently blacking the chrome to make it more Delorean-esque.

Anyone got an idea of how much it'd cost for 4 wheels to be blasted? Also anyone local that can do it?

Id guess wheel bearings or at worst drive shafts...... but it could be anything, even something like a slightly bend brake disk catching the caliper as it goes round

That happened to my mini (not me though) I think the hub and ball joints had to be replaced, as pusb said could just of bent the shield if you have them. I would check the torque of the other ones (60nm IIRC)

When my wheel fell off it landed dead on the ball joint and welded the nut to the ball joint. I haven't had any problems as of yet. If you need me to pop up and take a look kieran i should be free most nights this week to make sure its nothing too serious.

Just rough running. Today was new carb & manifold gasket day. Not a job for the faint-hearted (or weak backed) on a ERA!!

Can't find a new heater matrix that fits correctly for £20-£30 including postage. :(

I could not get the pipes to fit. They are about 1/4 of a hole out. :( I tried to lightly force the pipes through the holes.

Did you have any issues with the width?
Jan 06 2015 03:50 PM -

I did notice it was a little thin compared to the original but they supplied some foam pads to help with this
