Toss the old Lucas and get an Isuzu Gemini one. PM `convertible mini' on here, he sells `em reconditioned. Or buy a new one from Heritage MG in Sydney like Josh (Mini Mad) and I did. These are Chinese copies but are not bad, warranty is 2 years. |

The heritage ones are great because the holes have already been filed out to fit. It means no extra work....that's what I like. Ryan |

Ryan They are not just filed out, they are milled properly to fit. I'm not sure whether Max buys them like this (probably) or machines them downstairs. |
