Hi all,

 

I'm restoring a 1987 Mini City E, my first project! Wondering if anyone can tell me what this tubular part is from my verto clutch cover? Can't seem to find it on the Mini Spares site.

 

Thank you in advance,

 

A

The fuel overspill pipe which goes down this pipe if the float fails and allows the fuel bowl to overflow.

Hope this helps..

Thank you KTS and bpirie1000! There was nothing attached to this when I bought the car. So I assume there's a hose that comes out of the carb and down to the top of this pipe? Will try to find out part numbers.

 

Thanks again!
