I'm currently stripping my 68 Deluxe, maybe an option for the rebuild

willy, I bothered my dad. He said that nothing of my 'stuff' will be sold till I've cleaned it out and know exactly what I ahve. My dad was saying something about if having enough stuff to biuld another mini, he might do so.

I had a look on the interent the swtichs aren't expensive but I think that the cup and button may be a bit rare.

Newport Motors would have one I reckon, but, I'd say Minitech would be far cheaper!

I know it's blurry as but hopefully you get the idea

Do you need a preflight checklist to operate that thing?

LMAO

Yeah something like that... It's actually pretty simple. I've got acc, ign, start, washers, wipers and headlights.

It all started because I wanted a floor start and I just thought I'd put it all down there I like it but feel free to dislike it, it won't bother me It's also allowed me to mount my stereo where the switches used to be which looks neat

so you think you know better than sir alec eh?

Sir Alec probably had arms like an Orangutan.

love the push button start on my 850

They are pretty sweet. The Minis would be cool if they all still had that, no crappy solenoids.

Pretty easy to steal a car with the floor mounted though, you only need ****** underneath the bonnet to connect **** to **** to provide ******** to the ******. And then you ***** the ***** and away you go! I left the stuff out so no goat blowing mini thieves get easy ideas.

And then when the mini owners catch you they **** kickyour **** with a baseball bat and ***** your twitching body to the ***ing ****.

hey mick... it's no easier or harder with or without the floor starter... that's why I've got an alarm that said I'm with you on what to do about the scum that would dare steal a mini

Cool, I was thinking about the original cars with the floor mounts, they need to be extra careful.

Slightly OT, but we had a '62 850 once which got a 1098 transplant courtesy of a '78 clubbie that I .. err .. crashed.. only the floorpan in the 850 wasn't exactly designed to take a rod-change gearshift, an exhaust *and* a starter button.

I can't remember the number of times the battery lead on the starter button blew holes in the exhaust.. that thing was perpetually patched with Coke cans and hose clamps...

Miniobsessed - that is quite awesome!

It'd be a bit like this I'd think "Oh it's raining better hit the wiper switch." ..... "whoops hit the NOS toggle!"
