One Carb Or Two?

While I had the wheels off for the tyre change I noticed that the steering rack gaiter was showing some wear/cracks, looking back a new rack was fitted in January 2020, so the gaiters have lasted 5 years, got to say changing the drivers side was frustrating and difficult whereas the passenger side only took 10 minutes from start to finish.

Even though when replacing the steering rack gaiters I refitted the track rod ends in the same place, I thought I would check the tracking using a purchase from e bay, all checked out ok

Decided to fit an additional steady bar to the radiator side of the engine, luckily there was already a hole in the subframe so no drilling required, I also changed all the other steady bushes. I then took it for a little run and parked a few cars away from this beauty.

On the return home after a 700 mile journey attending the Cornish Riviera run the mini developed a minor exhaust blow, when I got it home I identified the blow from the Y Piece where it goes into a single pipe, I thought I would check for tightness when this happened.
I then removed the complete exhaust and refitted it with new clamps.

My Mini was fitted with a Quick release rod change gear selector coupling when I purchased it, I have been struggling with selecting 3rd gear for a while, so today I changed it back to the standard sleeve and roll pins, the difference is amazing I can now select all gears much easier, feeling very pleased with myself.
