[Mini-Hazel-Nut]

Finished putting me stainless RC40 exhaust on today. Bit of a struggle as the otherwise beautiful looking LCB left the rest of the system pointing every which way but the right one, got it there in the end. Fitting kit bobbins had no nuts and nor did I so rather than buy some I ran a tap through some 8mm ones and converted them to UNF, worked a treat. Here`s the view followers will see:-

Started the centre speedo conversion.
Only the speedo cable and dash liner to fit. Completed bravely without a wiring diagram.
I was dreading rust but all sound.

I have been considering this conversion is it a particularly straight forward conversion. I have a 3 clock mini. Have seen minispares do a loom conversion for this and I will probs also wire in a tacho in front of the steering wheel. Is there anything else I would need to consider. And had anyone else used the loom from minispares ... Sorry to hijack thread.

Hi most of the wires are the same or just follow the loom on the centre clock as its very clear.
