the tail pipes on the maniflow one look alot longer than on mine, but the maniflow one will probably be made better, the 2 mounting points on mine which you would expect to be in identical places so you can mount it easily and measure it once and get it all looking nice arent in the same place so its slightly wonky mounted but hey ho.

We also tried to sort out making the heater controls from corsa dash work with the mini heater stuffs, and also mounting the choke cable

well we have finally managed to get all of the heater controlls (see above pic) to work with the minis heater, the power one was easy the hot cold one again easy, the direction one, we over engineered and it didnt work, so has taken 2 weekends to over engineer it and find it didnt work, and another 2 to scrap that idea and go back to basics and stop over complicating stuff and it now works, so now we can get on to attaching dials and trying to get the engine to work yay

ones the engines running and arches are on and the windscreens in and wiper arms etc are on i think it might be ready, with a lil bit of tidying of wires under the bonnet get in!!!! only a fiew months late for the wedding lol

Just a quick pick update of how the dash looks at the moment, the 3dials in front of the driver are all wired in and that's bolted down, the other 5 in the middle arnt wired in yet, but they just need a power each and an earth each, and then the fun of calibrating and etc.

This mini is going to be amazing ! Good on you - that wiring looks scary though ! Keep it up

[Down&Out]

Very cool dash. Not my cup of tea so to speak, but well put together and thought out!

[MiniLandy]

Like Down&Out, there's a lot I don't like about this build, and even more that I fecking love.

Good work chap, hope I see this thing at a show some day, looks like a very easy mini to live with.
