hi all,
Ive just been looking at various mini part suppliers in the uk's website and it got me thinking, I have a metro engine in my car, are their anyparts in it that arnt the same as a normal mini motor that if i needed to change, i would have to source actual metro parts? Please excuse my lack of auto knowledge, im kind of like Cole Trickle (tom cruise) in "days of thunder", i know very little about the internal workings, i just know how to drive them BUT i am learning!!!

thanks
trent

clutch may be a verto clutch, that was fitted to all a+ motors after 1982 or so, but its easy to spot, the clutch arm is tiny and the master cylinder is on an angle alongthe clutch cover ;) other than that you should be fine :D

Yeah it won't cost that, if you get S/H Oz flywheel, cover & bits, put a new S diaphragm and clutch plate in.

Probs with the Verto setup:
It's f'kin even harder to get off crank than an early one
The setup is way heavier than an early one
Parts over here are harder to get for Verto.
