Thanks guys.
Got some fine sandpaper and finished spraying and putting the carbs together. Properly chuffed with the result.

Thanks to Dom for helping me out by shipping a bunch of my parts with his parts. It is probably going to be a little while before I can get the cylinder head and brake booster sorted out though. Mainly due to funds (or a lack thereof) and also due to a lack of time :\

Anyway, hopefully I can start taking apart the brakes too and servicing them while I wait.

Now I've got everything necessary to put the carbs together properly. Correct needles, air box rubber seals,air filters, throttle springs, wing nuts and fibre washers Smile

Keen to see this setup fitted to the car. Any luck with the air filter sticker?

Glad your parts arrived safely Vinay.

Always a pleasure to a fellow mini owner.

I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised by the change the head and carbs will make to your car. Just try not to keep it off the road too long.

Definitely some very tasteful period correct mods.

I've asked Malcolm to print it with his next bulk print job. I think I should follow up Smile It's cool that we can get them made locally rather than having to import them.

Yeah, to be fair the car won't (hopefully) be coming off the road. I am thinking that once everything is ready, it should be a job for a weekend. It might take a bit longer with my limited skills though Tongue

Call in the reinforcements.

Promise them some beer you should be able to get it done quickly then.
