There are a few kits in Australia, most are jap spec and pretty much plug and play. Few holes to drill

Nick that charger is looking great, they dont stay like that tho... what size is the pipe? I run 5 or 6 mm pipe for mine. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Great work, you've done a great job spraying the engine bay considering everything else was still in there! |

That a bloody nice boost gauge! cost me enough lol! http://www.classicinstruments.com/ i wanted a stock kinda look. Pottsy yes never again, next time ill drop the engine out! apbellamy, graham.. below the boost take off? thats the backfire valve i think? something to do with if it backfires through the carbie? or do you mean the that bracket below the booster take off? i assume for the carbie cable, i'm not sure the kit i have is the early one. yes graham, i used about 5 or 6m also :) braided looks nice. i think ill stay with that if i can get it cheap enough. carl yep there are a few aircon bits around in australia. loads imported the spi minis as front cuts, so with a bit of calling around you can get a kit. i have a another lot of bits compressor, brackets for compressor, alternator brackets pretty much what you see in the photo, but the cabin stuff i have no spare. it's getting harder to find as no one is importing the front cuts anymore, so if you want aircon i would move quick before it is all gone. i will be putting more aircon photo's up as i get into that stage, in detail so you can all say the bits i have. ---- carl we have 3 types of aircon set up's i have set up 2 in this photo but ill be using the condenser from set up 3. set up 1 is everything inside the cabin looks very retro 80's but it's easy way to have aircon. look at the photo below, this is the original kit where you don't have to cut, it's to big & i wish i never bought this condenser type, i just cant fit it under the back of the van but a normal mini you can fit it next to the battery box it's a perfect size! because my traveler has the spare wheel & other bits of metal poking out, I needed a thiner condenser. I will be going custom anyways with the pipes, i have the small condenser from a later model spi mini. photo's to come and will run most things in under the floor boot. so this is the old carbie set up or first SPI mini kits from japan, as i said huge & busy! mine wont even look like it has aircon  and i can remove the engine with out having to degas every time.
ps rover alternators are huge!

did you make the top alterator bracket from scratch or is it modified from something else? |

that top bracket is a original mini part :) it comes with the aircon kit, it would not be hard to make one up the same though, if you have the know how. |

I will use 2 right angled brass fittings and two pipes, will be nice & neat and less lines to run as my fuel reg will be on the heel board of the rear subframe. Nick, not sure exactly what you mean by that, can you explain a bit more ? There are very good reasons for having the regulator (on an injection system) right next to the injectors (usually on the end of the injector fuel rail). Progress looks good otherwise, way faster than me :) Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |
