Pulled the 185 main jets out of the 45 Dellorto (was running too rich on dyno yesterday) and fitted 175s instead.
Going harder now... and using less fuel too I bet.

Went and picked it up from Thornton Smash Repairs. They did a great job fixing the rust in a few places, very happy with the results, price and time taken to do the job, can happily recommend them.

Rained all the way home though

pulled my motor apart to get the gear boxed looked at and pulled a 1100 crank out of brothers spare motor to go to a mate who is building my new motor cant wait

Not mine, Jimmyinamini's gearbox.

I started putting it together today. Earlier the 3-4 selector detent popped apart, i put it together backwards . It fits, looks good, but the selectors don't line up. Now i have to pull the cluster back out, let the 3 detents pop out and put it back right

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

I staightened out and shrank a few dents and warps in my clubman bonnet, painted it and the boot lid and touched up the scuttle panel. Damn metallics, such a cow to match sometimes.

I took one of my others for a drive down to the fish and chip shop at windsor (nsw). Everyday is a mini day for me

Not really on my mini, but mini related
I dumped two trucks worth of mini parts down at sims.
