Managed to tidy up alot more of the bottom of the mini using an Angle grinder with a Knotted wire brush attached, it has done a realy good job to the Mini, but not to me, When using it I managed to hit a Lip and it jumped of and got caught in my Jacket and T-shirt, all twisted up and cut accross my stomach... Ouch... Its my own fault... But still, ouch My 79 Clubman Build Thread - http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=451008

Nice work, sounds like you got away with it with the wire brush in the grinder, they are great but lethal if your not careful. i wear overalls and a face mask, as its not very nice when they start flicking bits of wire at you. |

Yeah got away with it thankfully, I was wearing a Full Face Mask, but not overalls, really should wear them out in the workshop on the car.

Judging by the rest of the car, I am going to say it is most likely the original carb at 1" 1/2 will measure it sunday evening when I am back home.

Well here we are! 4 of us managed to lift and place it on the mattress on its side to make it that much easier for me to clean underneath, the little bits you can see all ready scraped where as far as I got lying on my back and doing it before I got fed up and enough was enough.
