Got the pressure reducer thing off and pulled apart - full of crud - note there are two rubber seals - are these replaceable ie can you buy them anywhere? - not seen them in my travels.

Also Matt Read - I've misplaced your distructions on how to make the unit adjustable - I know there is another version about on the web but I remember I liked yours best - Can you do a 'How too' please?

kit p/ns are ssb602 & ssb603 from memory,,, one is for the std mini & the other is for the "S" valve,,, forgotten which way round it is

& drill a hole into the back of it,,, thread the hole,,, have bolt of same thread handy & weld a lever to it,,, trim the pring down a coil or 2,,, fit a flat washer of correct size to fit into the cyl before re-fitting newly kitted valve spring & piston assy,,, add lock nut with (lever welded to it) onto the bolt before fitting & you can add an o-ring to help seal it if you so desire

i think we used to use a one cent piece as the flat washer years ago

No offence intended here but--> anyone writing a book about minis 30 years ago may not have experienced such worn or stuffed-with components as we are finding these days.

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

Got a jar full of them Thanks Matt
