I riveted on some garden edging to my flares to stop getting mud lines on the side of my mini.

I also have a box I made containing a HEI module which is triggered by points. I have it so that I can switch a plug to go from points & condenser to points triggered HEI. Unfortunately due to issues the HEI is now the backup to the points & condenser.

Apologies for my ignorance but what are flares?

You must call them something different.

I do need to make the garden edging a bit longer to work properly.

I have a special metal template that locates on the engine mounting holes, and since 1961, when the engine was out, I have always drilled four 3/4" holes in the driver's side of the front subframe, in line with those clutch cover bolts that are less easy to get at with a spanner.

 

3/4" is large enough for a box spanner or a 1/4" drive socket.

Today also made my cabin air filter.

I've done similar, although I only have 2 holes and find the others easy enough.
I also have a big 2.5"+ hole in the inner wing that then lets me get to the flywheel bolt with a long extension.
