Pedal box is different
If you want bumpers, you need to weld on the mounts, or get one with mounts

That's all I can think of

So are the motor, box are the same, brakes, suspension (other than rear arms)

My investigations have found the following as special to the Moke.

Body
Rear Lights
Rear Trailing Arms
Pedal Box
Gear Lever Boot
Wiper Motor
Bumpers
Sump Guard
Screen
Seats
Dash


Have I missed anything

If you want to be completely correct the rear subframe has extra strengthening too.

Also the rear suspension trumpets are van items.

If you are doing a little-wheeler you can use more Mini parts.

Motor and boxes are much the same, except for diff ratio on the bigwheel ones. They mostly run a 4.13. For fitting 10" wheels to these most folks go for a 3.44 instead (if using a 1098 or 1275).

Hand brake cables are a different length I think.

Demister ducts
Wiper assembly
Wheels
Sump guard
Wheel arch trims
Fuel level sender
Floor mats
Rear view mirror and wing mirrors
Rod change to gear box links (shorter on moke)
Exhaust (to go around rod change thing)
Rear brake pressure limiting valve
Choke and heater cables
Dash switches

Per adamstuart - Moke front subframes have bits welded on to mount the bumpers, but 2 different kinds depending on the bumper style. Front subframes were also predrilled to fit the sumpguards.

I only know this because i was looking at them at Mini King last week and John explained what all the bits were (thanks for another educational morning John)

cheers

There isn't a load of difference, really.

For the most part, you could reshell a mini into a moke.

What everyone has listed is true, and most parts are obviously different - Lights, tank, switches and such.

But if you aren't going for concourse, then you can fit pretty much everything.


Handbrake cables wise, if you are using the longer moke arms, you can get moke cables from Karkraft.
If you want to use mini trailing arms you will need to get custom cables made up, or buy 13" moke ones and shorten to suit.
