Dunno if these have been posted on here before but they look quite handy:

http://www.minispares.com/Article.aspx?aid=575

You need to log in to view them and for some reason the links from the PDF don't work for me (I think it's cos they disabled some ActiveX stuff on our PCs at work), but really handy nonetheless for thos of us who don't know the correct name of every part, nut and widget :)

You might want to get hold of a Mini King Catalogue.....every part, number, and diagrams where they all go....that combined with a haynes is all you will ever need....

Yeah I may well buy one at some stage, but this is free!!

Also, i've got a Rover, so I'll always be wondering if the part matches, it's surprising how many things never changed over 40 years but there's also plenty of differences between 1959 & 1990 minis and between UK & Aus minis

Yes Mike, you did indeed. :oops:

Since then we've moved house twice (3 times if you count 3 months spent in the UK last year), so I don't know where it is at the moment!!. I do recall seeing it not too long ago though in amongst a pile of CDs, so I think it's pretty safe

I still owe you a few dollars or a beer or something for it (for the postage at least) but I haven't been at any of the same events as you since then i think!!!

What a memory!

Don't worry about the beer - I have plenty here :lol: lets have a dram or two sometime.

I havn't been very active in the mini club for a while - too much happening here in the bush.

But soon I will

Mike

Oh forgot

Please feel free to copy the CD and distribute as you feel fit - it saves an awful lot of download time
