Got the irrits with the worn out spindles on the 997's twin SUs. So I picked up a overhaul kit and bored the carbs for new white metal inserts for the spindles, and replaced all the other bits and bobs.

It wasnt on my mini but it was in my mini.

Sat in the clubman and tried to make a 'What did you do on your moke today' thread on our sister forum.

It got chewed up and spat out by incompetant moderators.

HURR DURR
