One Carb Or Two?

Posted 16 September 2020 - 06:49 PM
Another coat of gloss black to the engine, need to oil up the bare metal and a general cleanup to the gearbox casing etc. I need to change the distributor, do I need to be aware of anything as I remove, will anything drop out? Don't think I have ever changed a Mini distributor.
Thanks, pics below:

Are you sure because that's the way it left the factory? Brand new engine.

Well Covid has scuppered my plans of moving the Spitfire into the garage but more importantly swapping that fan around :)

State of play at the moment, GT relegated to back of the garage so I can re-position my bonnet hinges on the Spitfire and repaint the front end:

Jase, you have some serious metal working kit in the garage, roller, swage tool, English wheel. Is that what you do for a living?
I have a couple of bits that would benefit from a trip over to yours.
Any updates on the mini?

No, it's just a hobby. You are more than welcome but the garage is jam packed with cars at the moment, when I re-commission the TR there should be a bit more room.

Just something to play about in while the Mini is building up :)
So this just goes to show how slow I am, picked this car up 8 years ago this week and sold it today 
fantastic car which ironically is being replaced with a new MIni.
