Does anyone know where I can get the thermostat end complete engine steady assembly without having to import one.
I like the look on the Minispares one, http://www.minispares.com/product/Class ... 20shop#tkc

Further to the above post, with a 1275 and Rod change box, should I also add the bottom engine steadies (gearbox to subframe) or is this overkill ?.

And no, it has very little advantage due to the pivot point (engine mount).

New stock of 1275 Themostat end brackets are available at MinisPlus.

Bright shiny parts with new bolts always make a difference to an engine bay.

You'll note the "non slip" radiator bracket for when I am walking around in the engine bay.
Always got to be safety conscious !

I hope to progressively tidy things up once it's registered and I can actually use it rather than just work on it.

I did notice that.

It will be the last intact item on the car.
