You're knurling now?! Amazing. I'm jealous.
 
Where are you getting all these aluminum parts from, like the central instrument panel and door latch? You aren't making those, are you?
 
Last question - were you showing the weight of just the A-series block sans gearbox?

Lol I showed you these pics days ago did I not Joe? I will email you some if you like?

Yes mate making them myself in my little shed. The rear boot lock was about 8hrs worth of work.

It's a full 1275 turbo engine I picked up last month, that weight was full engine with no bolt ons.

You did not send me photos of knurling. I would surely remember that. Knurling is the only machining process that increases part dimensions. It's like magic or something.

 

Fab'ing all these yourself? Then I'm really impressed. It is probably a good idea for you to make duplicates of all these parts and send them to me for testing. Don't worry - I won't charge you for my testing service. You have my address.

Is it going to be ready for Mini in the park? Looking forward to seeing it tearing up the strip again and hopefully faster than ever before!
