hopefully, do you think it would run ok with just the exhaust manifold and downpipe? yet to buy a backbox for it...

Will just be noisey. Woody used to have a jig that he checked motors in, simple ignition system and a rad, can't remember if there was a throttle or not.

Let the hose protrude as far as the bottom of the subframe, it needs passing air to draw the fumes away.

This may be an option for you

Well it's not a sieve anyway

Nice job

Great work.

Nice simple solution.

All the old butter smugglers will be coming out of retirement...........

It's a 30 second job with the correct Churchill tool. and it also does the idler bearing in the flywheel housing.

I have a spanner specifically bent for the engine mount bolts.

Was that on the inside or the outside?

I remember looking for that car for kieran a few years ago. I couldnt find it then and think it's been scrapped. The mini NCT only ran out on 02/6/2020 so I am guessing it should be around somewhere If you have taken this from the NCT booking portal then unfortunately it means nothing other than if...

Supposed to be Silver too.

Great work again.

Maith an fear.

Is your oil pressure gauge union going to clear the feed pipe to the oil filter at that angle ?

Love this, great work.

Last of the 10" wheels was Sept 83.

Look like 12" wheels to me Woody.

Ouch!!!

Ronan had a stand for running engines on back in the day, frame to hold the engine and a panel with a few gauges to check oil pressure, water temp, rev counter that sort of thing

How much advance would there be just by moving one tooth on the cam gear?

Wonder what Mags would say if I put engine parts in the oven

Going great guns.

Great to see you're getting it back on the road Lauren. Best of luck with it.

There were Hif44 carbs complete with manifolds going for around £130 at the IMM last week, I don't know if there is any auto jumble at the Mini 60 show in Mondello this weekend but there usually are sellers at the Causeway Coast Mini Show in Portrush the following weekend.
