I’m posting a photo of my current old fuse box.
Apart from most of the wires covered in oil does
This look to have the wires in the right place.
The clean white wire is new and goes to the coil.
The horn works but have not yet tested lights w/w
Heater. 998 1973 mini clubman. Engine does run.
Thought they were supposed to have 2xfuse box.
Regards to all Ian.

As all the terminals are not original it might have been an upgrade from a PO.

White is ignition live

Brown is permanent live

Green/white is accessory (1st ignition key position)

Red is output from the light switch for side, tail, dash...

The original 2 fuses would be .

White going to dark green like the fuse on the right

Brown going to Purple  ,Brown may be on top left but I don't see purple.

If you pull back the  corrugated  plastic cable cover you will see the original wiring taped into the loom and anything else is added.

Looks like a lot of diy going on there

Yip there has been a lot of fiddling with this clubman. Thanks for the info. Bought a new 4 fuse box so it’s back to the Hainess manual .regards.

the wiring diagrams on here are much better I find especially if you can print A1 or A0

 

just clearer and easier to trace

Has anyone used Turner Su carburettor refurb. I think mine is passed it. 1973 998 clubman, Su hs4 was waxstat I changed this to the red plastic tube but kept the same ADE needle. The float was out of Haines spec less than 3mm gap. New mechanical fuel pump fitted and no fuel leaks. Any advise welcome. Regards to all Ian.

Does the car run okay? With the new jet fitted? I did the same as you have and had to use a new needle (to match the new jet). I eventually got the car optimised by an AC Dodd trained technician.

Totally transformed the car, alot livlier performance and better fuel economy too (that reminds me I think I need to get the guy to have a look over the car again!)

A tip is to give the car a thorough service.

Change points, condenser, cap and rotor arm, plug leads.

Oil and oil filter

Use the best quality fuel you can get.

Then send it for a tune up, I bet the car will be miles better

The clubman has new electronic dis plug and leads new fuel pump new water pump radiator and coil new petrol lines from tank to carb . Car runs if I pour a little petrol into the intake port. I think the needle jet may be the problem. Regards Ian.
