Just wondering if anyone has a CAD file of a Mini's front subframe that they wouldnt mind me pinching? Fancy designing my own subframe for an engine conversion (not decided which one yet :P ) so that when insurance allows it, I can build and fit it to what ever Mini I have at the time - Solid works file would be ideal :) Cheers!

I don't have solidworks anymore, otherwise I'd have a go at it mate...

If you have solidworks, I found some pretty good reference images you could use as workplanes

I've got a solidworks file of a whole mini if you want.. i guess you could delete parts off it to just get the subframes?

Whats your email? Ps it has to be a high performance computer to open it due the amount of components...

Some of the information in this previous TMF thread may help, although the original link within it to the www.spinquad.com forum which has all the details seems to have a security problem at the moment.......?

Excellent ministar, just pm'ed you :) That one of Lilihips looks great too, Ill see if I can get hold of him.

Im currently at uni so only have my Pentium powered laptop :D Ill wait till I get back to my desktop to have a play with it :)

Im very fortunate on the Solid works front, the engineering department gives all its students a free copy!

Be careful as it crashed my laptop and took 2 hours to open.. If your at uni, use a uni computer.. I did!! I tried rendering it, but some components needed hiding to make it render under 3 days.. (3d studio max)

Sent to all that PM'd
