| Post subject: | Sports 850 + LCB problems |
I recently fitted a 12g295 head to my 850 and also found a set of twin 1.25's for it, Does anyone know of the right needles and springs to use as a starting point. Also has anyone had problems fitting LCB's to mini's with rubber/plastic uni's. Mine dont clear the UNI. |

Is bloody close on mine millimeters once the intermediate pipe is on and all bolted up. No room for worn rubbers or engine movement. steve |

Vizard recommends, Blue spring and E3 neddle for 850 + modified big valve 998 Cooper head + full race cam + extractor's or Blue spring and M neddle for any thing smaller Pete |

Did anyone come to the bottom of the 'mine wont even spin' problem. I thought i had plenty of room, but no... they wouldnt spin at all. Since then i have torqued up the wheel nut and it is much better, but still, VERY close. No room for engine movement?? I only have 1 stabiliser, there isheaps!! Any tricks? |

re the engine movement- if fitting an LCB etc you have taken away the 850's 2nd most important steady- the 1 piece exhaust system... and you will probably have lots of leak problems where the engine pipe joins the LCB. No, I am not joking- I ran one for years. 
A lower steady (or a top Clubby one at least) is a good addition. re the room problem at the U/J, I would use a freeflow type instead- its single downpipe gives you a bit more room there. |

My knuckle bolts are still hitting exhaust (exhaust not yet bolted up, but i have it sitting on 'things' in about the right spot. 
Also slightly off topic, but sort of attachments are used to mount exhaust at these points in pic. 
Fanks :) |

I was just wondering beccausee other cars i have, have a rubber suspender for the rear of the exhaust not a solid mount. I don want to fit the wrong type! Also, where do these 'extra' engine steadys bolt onto the engine and firewall/ The engine i have is an 1100 from a van (i think it is a clubby van)i would assume this needs more streadys, cause it rocks about a bit :") |

the Clubby top steady goes from a bracket on the firewall (where heater hoses go in, or LHD master cylinders mount) to a bracket under the thermostat housing. There are 2 different ones here depending whether it's a smallbore or 1275 head. |
