Attempted to tune the carb. Realised I had absolutely no idea what I was doing and put away the screwdriver.

Spent a couple of hours assembling a set of Roller rockers using correct spacers and washers to get alignment correct with Valve tip. I have used a set of Purple/Pink coloured ones. Not as good as the Titan ones I have on my speedway car.

Visited the mini in the spray shop and removed it from the rotisserie and mounted onto the new trolley I made over the past few days.

The guys were workiing on the doors today doing the boring rubbing of the highfill in prep for the colour. The excitement builds.

Mind if i ask how it supports on the rear?

After much studying of a mini body and measuring I decided to make the trolley bolt onto the existing subframe mounting points.

The front uprights fit into the tower holes and bolt as per front subframe and the rear is made to mount to the front points for the rear subframe.

I guess the only issue I now have is how to remove the trolley fit the subframes and that will be the next challenge. I did make the trolley to bolt at the 4 corners so it can be broken down into 4 pieces.

Had a great day @ Cooper works!

Installed a MKI heater (oh yeah baby)

Installed the airhorns (get out of my way)

Connected the washer bottle

Changed Steering wheel (larger 14" wheel is sensational to drive with, just like power steering!)

Looking forward to taking the little bugger out for a spin!

I have split mine to both ports, but it's not really necessary. I ran for years with it into 1 port only, I just richened the idle mix 1/2 a turn on that side only. No worries...
