I'm being a bit dozy this morning I'm looking for some rubber bushings which I can't seem to find. They are the ones which go from the front brakes to the front valance.





Also can I get ball joint rubbers with out having to buy new ball joints?

Those are the tie rod rubber bushes. Not sure about the ball joint rubbers as ive only ever bought the kits.


Edit.
Oh!! and they can be bought from any of the mini suppliers.

Awesome thanks! Can someone show me where I get the little connector for a hose that connects to the top left hand side of the cylinder head. I don't have a photo of it due to not having the engine as its out for a rebuild.

Do you mean the heater take off valve on the top left like in this picture.?

That'd be the right bit! But I don't have the heater valve on mine. Just hose to the cylinder head.

[AndyMiniMad.]

Ok so is it just the jubilee clip that fixes the hose to the head you need.? If so they can be had from the same place as the rubbers.

Just a suggestion but why not get nice poly bushes as a car set. You have the engine out so now would be a perfect time to upgrade. And as you can see from my pick why not change all the jubillee clips for nice shiny new ones. it makes a big difference to the look of the engine bay.

Its not Jubillee clips, its a cylinder shapped fixing which the hose fits onto.
