A+ dizzy clamp but A series alt bracket?

Lots of weirdness - Spider is obviously trying to mess with our minds!

Mmmmm lots of trick bits me thinks!.

OK,,, OK,,, I'll see if I can get remember them all.

 

For the record, this is one of my Minis, built as an every day driver (if I wanted to) and also to be able to duck over to see my good mates in Adelaide in (a return trip of around 2800 km).

 

Cable through the bulkhead is the Choke Cable, there's a black one below it which is the throttle. Also fitted with Cruise.

 

Yes, RHD.

 

The 'Block' next to the MC is the Brake Inertia Valve, mounted so that it's adjustable.

 

Two Clutch Flexy hoses as the bleeder for the clutch is remote mounted, easy to bleed now and without loosing all the nice engine bay paint.

 

Radiator and T'Stat Housing are late Aust types from our 1275 Mokes, they had a very solid 4 core radiator, the T'stat cover's on these models was 'out the back' to accommodate the Air Pump for the Pollution gear, which was fitted above the Alternator. I sometimes fit them as they give just a little more room in the front.

 

IMO, the 'A' type Dissy Clamp is a great way to ruin an otherwise good dissy, so I weld a plate on to the sleeves so I can fit the A+ Clamps, much better.

 

Car is for sale if anyone's interested.

 

But, this has nothing to do with the poor OP's question!

I just LOVE the double hose/remote clutch bleeding idea ... this is fairly easy on the Mini but on an In-line engined car like the Midget, the bleed valve is underneath ... methinks I see a cunning plan! The pipes will need to be longer so it would be a mixture of kunifer and flexi to get it back into the engine bay ... 

 

Might save some of that grovelling on cold concrete floors too!

 

 

And yes, our nice Antipodean cousins drive on the right side of the road like us .. the left!!
