Sold it

Hey Mick,
Notwithstanding the faffing around you've had to do with straightening it out, where did you get the side trim from? I can't find any local supplier listings i.e. Minisport SA etc. I'll be needing some for a Clubman soonish.

Cheers,

I'm not sure as it was at the motorshow, and I picked it up from a random supplier's stall. I can tell you it definitely wasn't Mini Imports because he gave me a bollicking for not picking it up from him ( I didn't know you had it in stock Josh! ).

All the suppliers have it however. Its as common as on the shelves. Both in the fluted S style, and the non fluted standard shape. Give your supplier of choice a call.

nooo!!!!!

Yesterday pulled the clutch cover off to change the thrust bearing.

Realised i had left my trolly jack with Roald in NL, so used the engine crane to lift engine in situ.


Went to rapeco and bought the omega trolley jack today. While i was there, i got the cheapo red tool chest, bearing puller and a rechargeable LED magnetic worklight.

Off to Eastern Creek to watch some racing now.

Woke it up
Reversed down drive way
Drove back up drive way
Put it back to bed

Soon learned that folding steel by hand, as a sub 80kilo male, is not very doable.

Took the Crudman for a fang, filled it up. Got told by the 7/11 attendant that I: "Very nice dressing"

Have to soon learn that it is all about leverage - i.e. get a longer lever on your folder and you can out muscle the man of steel

Handle on folder, HAH!
Don't make me laugh!

Tried quickly with some bits of RHS and a few G Clamps.
Not exactly a folder per-say
With some more muscle it will work!
