Next up I had some 8.4 calipers re-conned with new stainless pistons and re-plated and removed the beloved metro vented 4 pots. Added some new standard hoses while I was at it.
Replaced the wheel bearings on the LH hub as a precaution. The rollers did not look great, so this was a great idea.
Replaced the outer cv joints and inner pot joints complete on both drive shafts.
The discs are used and the drive flanges also. Bled the system and all was good.
It was time to drop the engine in, so a new bottom rad hose with heater takeoff and new top hose later on a 3 core rad...
Some new washers for the inlet/exhaust system.
While running the car, the RH float was overflowing so I had to swap the float out for a new item. I also fitted a new link pipe between the float bowls.
Also added some new air filters to the carb setup and the finally a clubman GTS engine back in the engine bay.

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
