A few people have asked about the switches.

I thought I had put this up but it was on a different post.

Please use the attached carefully, it worked for me but your set up may be different.

lovely mini

[almarsh132]

Steve, your mini is an inspiration! makes me just want to run outside and do something to mine . However the time ive spent reading your thread means I may have just failed a unit of my mechanical engineering degree! All the best Alex.

That has really come up well, liking the spots as well definitely makes the front stand out.

Looks great in those snow pics, I was worried when i saw that first pic of the grille, it looked miles off lol! Photo-trickery I guess, it looks the beans with the 'tash whiskers on. So jealous!

Excellent grille choice!

Looks absolutely incredible, Steve - Love each and every detail in this car, but also the whole car has such a quality finish to it - I love the look of it!


Now, hide it from Zoe - And go and enjoy it yourself!

Awesome mini stevede! I've followed the progress throughout and you've done an excellent job.

Could you please tell me what kind of relay's you used for the lighting circuit you posted earlier?

[malcs_miniturbo]

i also just read the whole thread and its awesome what you have done

[Marty529]

Steve,

I have also read the whole thread over the last three days in installments to suit the wifes schedule over the Christmas period. What a totally inspirational build offering shed loads of tips ideas and motivation. If I didn't rely on my chariot getting me from Kent to Notts on a weekly basis I think I would be tempted to go through your trials and satisfaction myself if I had the confidence but your epic journey has given me much food for thought.

A Top Dogs B****CK's project mate------now enjoy before Zoe passes her test and takes it all away!!!

Steve,

the MPI indicator stalks is a great way of solving the savage switch problem of having two switches for the lights..

so... my question:

do you need to change the ignition switch and steering lock? or did you change it because of the different cowling?


on the topic of the stalks anyway, can i ask how much it cost you for the stalks and the steering lock?


cheers
