Stripped all the paint off my rocker cover and primed ready for mowog green.... Trial fitted twin su manifold and fitted a vacuum take off plate to each side and connected with new white silicone hose to each vacuum gauge( I have one for each carb )... Wheeled it out of the garage to sort all my stuff out and made a new bench so I can strip my carbs for a rebuild....that's about it

Cheers james

Fitted rear bumper

Checked spark plugs - all look in good condition.

Replaced the plastic glove box - another dashboard out job which always takes longer than I expect it to.

Took her for a drive and all the instruments still work - even the speedo !

Attempted to remove a flywheel/clutch assembly and failed miserably!   damn thing is stuck tight and no amount of heat, strength or firm words will budge it. Looks like it's a trip to a garage!

Well I didn't do it today... in fact I did it two Sundays ago but this thread is as good as any!

 

On that Sunday, I took the Mini out for a sunny drive in the countryside and took a lovely picture of it.

Just a new battery for mine today. New interior is planned for the winter :)

I unwrapped a sweet Specialist Components EFI kit and bolted it to my engine, it's gunna be awesome.

Fitted a new airhorn - hopefully people will be alerted to my presence before I get squashed against walls/central reservations

Made a homemade battery clamp as the battery was rattling about like a bean in a tin can

pumped up tyres

Good wash and polish

 

by the way, I can highly recommend a drying cloth rather than a chamois

 

All little jobs but need doing

 

Planning to change the throttle positioning sensor tomorrow to see if I can fix the erratic idle problem

Primed and painted a flitch panel ready to be welded in and drilled some holes

Oh and then wrapped it up because of the crappy weather forecast

Had another go at my brakes and I have come to the conclusion that my mini needs a new brake master cylinder ;-(
