I would love something more substantial than the folded cardboard rear bin liners we get. Something that looks OEM, but maximizes space and is nice and clean.

I'd also like this bracket replicated: https://www.theminif...t/#entry3682960

I think the 3D print library is a great idea but I have a question about one of the items listed. The HIF44/HS6 Velocity stack. These 2 carbs have different inlet opening diameters which require 2 different stub stacks. The HIF being 44mm but the HS6 a couple of mm smaller in diameter.

What is the internal diameter of the stack shown in the file please?

The HIF6/HS6 has a diametre of 1.75"*25.4mm/" = 44.45 mm

This is a great idea and I was thinking the same some time back.

There is a number of models on https://grabcad.com/h.segeth-1/models that have been drawn up very well.

When I get chance I want to measure and draw up the rod selector assembly and customise it.

Thank you Jon that you like the GrabCAD bits as they are reengineered by me

Awesome post.  I did my rear brakes recently and the wheel center caps had lost their lugs and were falling out.  3D printed some new ones and they work a treat.  Thanks !

Innocenti Mini "I" pedal rubber available at

https://grabcad.com/...i-mini-cooper-2

 

N.B. I used Liqcreate Flexible Resin to print it and found it to should be re-inforced in the rear section by adding material to the "lip" that goes over the pedal.

Did't bother to update the model, as I found NOS-rubbers

Sadly the link is broken. Do you have another?

...perhaps by an appeal from BMW? You can find many car models on GrabCAD but none of BMW!

 

I have saved most of the Mini GrabCAD models on my PC before they were withdrawn, but only the classic Mini ones.

 

I do not want to publish them on my cloud to avoid any problems with the BMW legal department. But I could send them to a mail address.

I suppose you need to register and log in, to gain access to the files?

Here is the link once more - the model still exists

anyone modelled a set of K conversion Plates ? 

 

tempted to print a set for my dummy build so i can tailor them to take a belt cover etc....

Here's one I've been using for a while.  It goes from the outlet of the Air distribution box under the wing to the big inlet hose for the heater.  We were struggling to get the hose to stay on with the hose getting pushed off by the carpet so printed an elbow to suit.

 

*Edit. Can't upload an STL here 

 

**Edit Well I think I've posted it on Thingiverse: https://www.thingive...m/thing:6365810

Does anyone fancy designing the rear light units? ☺️😉

Has anyone done any competition type stuff?

The IP rights (patents & registered designs) to anything related to classic Mini original production will be lapsed by now.

 

Rover did register the saloon body shape as a trademark, dubious if that's enforceable.

 

I haven't read this in any detail but some might find it interest.
