How are you planning on fitting the huddersfield tie bar and bottom arms to the allspeed frame? Are the mounting points not different?
Do you have any pics of how you are fitting them, as i'd rather spend £100 on the huddersfield ones than 300 odd for allspeed arms.

Cheers.

had to do a little few mods mate a will try to post some pics up for you as soon as pos.

here is some pics mate i had to make the gap wider where the bottom arms fit to the frame with a simple hit with a hammer lol also removed the spacers that where welded on. where the tie bars fited i also removed the spacers and welded a square plate on where the bolt should go through if you wher fitting rose jointed ones, then i drilled a hole through for the bar + rubbers to go through. hope it helps mate.

wow, that was a lovely bargain, 70's minis are by far the most fashionable to have nowadays (except for mk1's) £200 was a steal.

That's a whopper of a fuel tank

[*franky*]

little update just finished my fuel set up, all pipes, pump and filter fitted. finished tubbin the rear arches its quite supprising how much you actually take off. will be able to get the car a bit lower . also got my alternator fitted as well, it wasnt as bad as i thought it was going to be. just put a lick of paint on the floor. here is some pics of the progress.






also found a place for my battery to go!

[8vAlan]

what alternator did you use? are you gonna be buying the billet driveshafts from allspeed too or making your own up? good project, subscribed.

Cheers
