Hi Everyone,

 

Long time lurker, first time poster.

 

Sorry for the lack of knowledge and crappy photos.

 

I am selling up some of my mini parts that I have accumulated to fund other parts of my project and before I go misinforming people on what I am selling I was wondering if the knowledgeable minds on here could help me out. I do not have the history of the engine, brakes or carbs.

 

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

 

I have tried to take helpful pics but if any specific shots are needed i shall oblige.

 

I have researched part numbers online but come with varied results.

 

Not sure best way to post pics but heres a link -

Thanks in advance guys, I really enjoy this forum especially build threads - have spent many an hour reading through them.

No all looks standard stuff.....with the exception of a duplex set being added..

 

But - have a squint at the numbers on the pistons that's the easiest way to  tell if its been overbored...if it has it'd have been done a fair while ago as there seems to be some ridging at the top of the bores (but then again could be photo)

cant really see the uprights but i feel they will be metro (may be Mini but need to see the ball joint to be sure).. not really usable on the Mini. drive flange will need the locating lugs removing to suit Mini wheels.

 

conrods look like something has been done to them.

 

otherwise you need to do some measuring, duplex looks like standard to me.
