smaller is the clutch i think when i was over his the other day

sounds right,

I think early mini's had .625 for both and they introduced the .7's and .75's because of the extra fluid needed for the disc brakes

Thats it joe.

Its update time!

On Thursday I was down the lock up pissing about with the car and a old boy stopped for a chat about the car. So, we got chatting and I was telling him how shit it was not having any power in there, and that I would love to weld up that shitty Webber box cos it looked horrid. Then he said "well I have a generator in the van that you can borrow all weekend just full it up and its yours", so I ripped his arm off!

Yesterday the plan was to make sure I had all the stuff to work on the car and get it sorted in one weekend. A quick shopping trip and I had all the welding gas some of my paint mixed up in some Rattle Cans. So then I started to strip out all the stuff in the bay and the dash also came out, so I didn't have any fires. I got the generator at 16:30 and I got most of the small holes welded up then it was Beer Time with Mrs H!!



07.30 And the alarm went off, as I had a date with Craig about the sub frame. Now last night this was a good idea, that I would put a full shift in on the car, but there was no way I could work with tool the way I was feeling a full fry up, 8 bits of toast and 3 cans of coke later I was good to go.
In the end I had to recruit Jo to help me to sit inside and look out for fires and to push the metal out as I tacked it in place anyway Job Done!



Tomorrow I hope to get it painted.

Its not that good up close, as It has not been wet sanded. I am going to do the wing next as I am not happy with the big hole in it.
