nerfbat Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) SHE IS REGOED!! fun times...! finally got my RWC guy around today, he was flat out this week and had no time to make it. slipped me in between jobs at lunch he said the brakes are still not 100% but let it through(prob sick of coming around lol) and made me promise to get them sorted asap dropped her at TyrePower for new 175/50/13's fitted and a wheel alignment too Edited January 22, 2013 by nerfbat Quote
nerfbat Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Posted January 22, 2013 also bought a front facing thermostat housing with a temp sender fitting, so i can actually see how hot she runs, lol removing the dash to prepare fitting of the new gauge ran out of light to do anymore things to do before i can take her for a good run: find a 'UNF' thread adaptor to suit the temp sender give her a better tune take her for a wash thanks for your time Quote

nerfbat Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Posted January 24, 2013 haha..! and an update of sorts so, after a day or so of driving with the 850, and knowing it still needed some parts, dizzy cap, possibly an SU kit and tune, etc, to get her running smooth i decided to bite the bullet, and will fit a 1275 and disc brake conversion, after talking to Rodney Hansen at https://plus.google.com/104016398637560906499/about?gl=au&hl=en he used to run TK's in Toowoomba, who specialized in minis and is a wizard when it comes to these things. he is looking for the gear for me now will let you guys know more when i do /excited thanks for your time Quote
towe001 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Posted January 24, 2013 4age?? :lol: Ha, better, well maybe. But then again even a boat anchor is better then a 4age Quote
nerfbat Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Posted January 24, 2013 i did consider a 4age as i have someone's complete ae 82 in my yard, at the moment :-P but after looking into, it would be too hard for me to do, not impossible. just too hard for me... and lol Rob Quote

nerfbat Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Posted January 29, 2013 so, i went 'window shopping' now that the sun was out. Rodney Hansen introduced me to a guy who Rob and I had inadverdently met a year ago, who turns out to have done his apprenticeship on these things this was us talking to him, back then so this is the engine, i am thinking of getting std bore, 200 km's since rebuild http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/topic/10239-hi-lo-fitting-guide/ also gonna grab some Hi-Lo's and some disc brakes, brand new from Rodney for approx $1,200 he says will update as i learn more Quote
kickn5k Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 It's good to hear your onto someone that can help with parts. I do know someone that can help if you ever get stuck(I'll chase up a link for you) A good mate and his dad run a mini/moke spares and repair business in Vic. Has sooooo much cool stuff for them it isn't even funny!! For example it's the only place I've ever seen a KAD twin cam cylinder head!! I think Mick still owns the under 1600 sports sedan lap record at Phillip Island. They did the resto on my next door neighbors '63 slide window mini, I must say its a work of art!! Pretty good price on the disk setup too. Quote
