we see them all the time ebay warnings are not new..
someone on atm selling a 202 head.. funny they came as standard on a run of the mill 1100..... not that im any sort of expert, but i dont think these were ever used for coopers at all. were they ever used on mk 1 cooper S as per the claim in the add??....

i hope they are worth something as i have 3 of these 202 heads in good nick thats how rare they are..

yes they are as commom as dog poop... but acording to the mini encyclopedia 997 had a 12g185...also states there that the ebay cooperising of these 202 heads for conning the not so well informed is not something new...

Try this one for size


http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... RK:MEWA:IT

An 1100s "Cooper S" crank!!

I emailed the seller 'Rosemary' who quite openly admits that "i know nothing about it and it belonged to my ex huband" etc etc.

The reply email comes back to me with her email address "miniman @ -----.com.au" :lol:

Very interesing.......and the Description has not been updated :evil:

The 202 was on the cooper 997 but not for long(neither was the 997 cooper for that matter). I think they are a good head - better than the EPA 998cc pollution heads with all the plumbing. They take a bit of work to make thenm work well but are the poor mans 295 - just needs slightly bigger valves an we are in the ball park.

Ben - I still want your 202 as well. Just have had no time to get there to pick it up.

Whack on 'Cooper S' onto anything mini and it's sure to grab attention...

For those who aren't malicious in their mis-description of gear, 'Cooper S' is just a term improperly used by the ignorant.
