  More Classicness

Hi All,

So I noticed a few new members thinking this is a Bini Forum... Any suggestions on how to make the site more classic to avoid the confusion?

Thanks,
Umar

  Worn Clutch Cover
Posted by: minitim - 11-30-2016, 06:52 PM - Forum: Technical Queries / Questions - Classic Mini - Replies (1)

Been having some issues with my clutch lately and it appears that the centre of the clutch cover is a little worn.
There is some play present with the clutch plunger, which is also worn more than I would like.

My question is:
Has anyone ever looked at fitting a bush in the centre portion of the "wok"
Done an internet search, and have not found anything that has been done that way.

Was thinking that if the centre is machined out, one would be able to put in a brass bush, and 
hopefully solve the wear over time once and for all.

What's your thoughts?

  "Minilite" Rims
Posted by: 5150 - 11-29-2016, 10:37 PM - Forum: Technical Queries / Questions - Classic Mini - Replies (2)

Hi Guys
I am in the process of a full rebuild and wanting to source 13" "Minilites". I am aware of the PCD of the standard mini 101,6mm which. I am up in the air to either change to 100mm while I have the suspension out for the rebuild.
If I could ask someone who would know and confirm if the following Manufactures offer the Rims in both PCD or not.
Additionally are there others out there?
ALine or SA Custom, Zero I was told only 100PCD
Hart Racing Concepts,  Fusion L254 Only 101.6PCD ?
Gang Racing, Model?..  4x100 and 4x108 ( Not a big fan of multi hole rims)
OX,  Model?..

Maybe a stupid reasoning but I am assuming the 100PCD maybe more readily available and also a little bit cheaper..

Thanks

So let me start the tread with a gem that I spotted in a motor museum that I went to in nelspruit a few months back.
No sure of the details of it but it looked like it is in original condition.

Tick Mini Spotted

Just thought this would be nice thread to create as there are a lot of mini's out there that
we don't get to see on the forum.
If we lucky to get a snap of them it would be nice to share.
