The pipes are steel bundy tube. A hydraulic place like Pirtek (or even a good hydraulic place) should be able to make cut some new ones and stick a flare on the end.


has anyone done this? I am looking at replacing my tubes one day soon and the options were slim or so I was told. Let us know if Mini King can get the original pipes too please or how ya go with a Pirtek type replacement

Started to get my 850 ready for the road replaced the choke cable, changed oil and filter, replaced spark plugs and points, replaced the carby fired it up for the first time in 6 years and tuned it accordingly

then as it warmed up the rear main seal and the front main seal started to leak very badly more to add to the list of things to do

Last Friday Fired it up, checked for leaks.. Touch wood... today refitted the bonnet, and grill. Going to bring it home tommorrow if its either:

1) Not raining
2) town hasn't flooded...

Yes we are expecting a major Flood. Again!
I was laughing that the mini was pulled apart during the last flood, and finshed off in another flood! :? :? :?

Gave it a clean, took photos down the beach so I can post it in the for sale area while my daughter cried that one of our Minis might be going.

Drove it, a few pops I think the timing might need to be adjusted.

But touch wood, no leaks!...
