Thanks Jared. They used to be sold by Avonbar UK. Midland now has a good version - http://www.midlandwh...r-All-Over.html

I see they have them in 6x12 too, which should look nice.

Back in action after a while, planning for my wedding. I think I'll be spending quite a bit getting domesticated so I had better rush and get the Mini assembled (as much as I can) before the wedding in November. Located import documents for the 1275cc engine which I hope to rebuild. I've ordered the following from Minispares.

 

DPB10166 BUMPER STAINLESS STEEL WRAP AROUND ENDS x2 £92.00

2A9013 INDICATOR LAMP WITH ORANGE ORIGINAL GLASS x2   £20.00

C-STR641 SUBFRAME MOUNTING FRONT ALLOY TEARDROP FOR FRONT (1 PAIR) 1 £15.00

C-STR640A SUBFRAME TOWER IMPROVEMENT KIT FOR FRONT SUBFRAME 1 £15.00

NAM3323 FRONT SUBFRAME REAR FIXING STRAP FLOOR TO MOUNT x2 £8.26

AK606021 CLIP FOR FIXING EARLY INDICATOR LAMP TO BODY x15 £12.15

C-STR642 SUBFRAME REAR LOWER METAL BRACKETS FOR FRONT SUBFRAME (1 PAIR) £13.50

24A1918 FRONT PANEL REINFORCEMENT S AS OPPOSED TO STD ALA4583 £5.20

 

Net goods subtotal:   £182.9

 

Courier charges, and import duty (Goods + Shipping + Insurance)*30% is gonna be eye-watering.

Fitted headlamp buckets this morning. Felt kind of silly as I really didn't know how to fit it, which way the rubber gasket faced, etc. The screws supplied in the kit from MiniSpares were too short so a set of self tappers from Smiffy's Bits was a life-saver!

Your mini will be brand new when completed :)

[scudracer]

I hope so! It's moving at snail's pace. Frustrating but I love these little victories.

After a long period of inactivity, the project is up and running again. Sad to see that a lot of pictures I linked from Facebook cannot be viewed anymore.
