i had steve from brickworx sell me some extractors Some thing called Cat or LCB maybe new was around 250 odd.

1-3/4 but they seem to hit at the bottom of back of the engine bay so i cant bolt them in.

Im not sure but he sent me the lot together?

the angle seems to foul on the traveler when it branches down.

any one have any idea?

im booking in the car for be finished & im gonna take a load of pics to show everyone should be fun getting her on the road.

but just still trying to work out a these silly little things!!

thanks for you help guys.

this is the first mini ive pulled apart & replaced part after part after part!!!

do you have the engine steadies on so the engine is in the correct possition

i have one engine steady in drivers side, not left hand side doing that next.

The 1275 engine brace under the thermo.

Take a pic of the extractors. There are some types that need the engine out to install.

omfg!

if that is the case then ill chuck it.

after putting everything in i'm not about to pull it all out.

i did check to see if it would fit in before it seems to fit behind but the angle where it bends down under hits.

don't have a photo but it has a tiny bit of metal coming out the side as if it braces onto something.

gearbox mount....?

pictures would really help with this, arent there two different length engine steady bars? coul have a longer one where he needs a shorted one, i cant remember if they are different or not lol

im a dick,


i meant manifold. but is that not the same thing?

kinda like that.

maybe ill just have to get some picys.


can an exhaust place just bend it at the bottom?

Ive not fitted one of them myself. But could you separate the middle part and attach that, then slide the sides up the back of the block?

yep if Y peice is bolted on remove and place the top section. get underneath and fit Y peice and also manifold steady gearbox mount

ok cool well ill try what you said mate.

but is it meant to sit flush on the engine wall?

i would think maybe it may resonate on the body ?

vibrations etc?

any exhaust place will sort this out right as i need to buy a new exhaust system while im at it!

any thing people recommend.

1275 little bit of work done port & polish.

It is quite a few years since I did the last set of these but from memory you will have to unbolt the engine steadyso the engine can be tilted forward, remove the y piece and then feed the y shaped but down the back, i seem to remeber that you also have to undo the engine mount on the side they run down, as they go down you have to turn them around, you start at 90deg when you feed them down, next its the single pipe much the same way. it is a tight fit but they will fit, then bolt to head lower the engine back down and do up the engine mount and steady tthen under the car and refit the y piece and dont forget some manifold sealent on the joint.

like I said its been a few years and not the most pleasant job but they will fit
