Try MinisPlus. Ben may have a secondhand spare. Don't think they are made anymore |

You've got a couple of options: Remove the system altogether Get a secondhand unit Get a new UK unit http://www.somerfordmini.co.uk/eshop/in ... s_id=13938 Or even go look in your local wrecking yard. I can't imagine the mini one being different in principal to any others. |

I'm sure I have a few s/h ones in the dungeon. Don't have any mounting brackets though. |

what does the charcoal canister actually do? i have one and the bracket in the parts bucket my shell came with. No idea where it goes, guessing it connects to the carby and catches fuel vapours? do most people run one? i never have before. |

It takes the fumes from the fuel tank, carb and crankcase and sends them to the intake. I haven't seen how they are hooked up in a mini however |

Here is what I have worked out. Experts - Please correct anything that is not correct. I have noticed 2 styles of charcoal canisters. Early cars had a canister mounted to the inner guard and used a canister with 2 inlets at the top. One from the fuel tank and one from the rocker cover. Attachment: Early Leyland 2 top charcoal canister.jpg Later cars had the charcoal canister moved up next to the master cylinders and had 2 inlets and 1 outlet at the top. One from the fuel tank and one from the rocker cover as before. The third was an outlet to the carby/aircleaner. Attachment: Late Leyland 3 top charcoal canister.jpg The bottom of both canisters had a large outlet pipe that let excess fumes out through the charcoal to the atmosphere. |

How would you go about removing the whole system? Would you have to trace all the hoses back to the source and block them? I only ask because I have the 3 hose setup in my 76 clubman and it simply looks messy and would be much cleaner without it. |

Legally you would need to keep it but I have seen many that have bypassed the canister. You could either put the rocker cover vent into the aircleaner. You could also put it into the inlet manifold with a PCV valve in the line. Some carbies also have a breather port above the throttle butterfly that you could plumb it into. Don't block off the fuel tank vent hose unless you have an earlier fuel cap that breathes. What ever you do make sure your engine can still breath - you don't want to blow and seals out. |
