Your steering wheel is nice, could do with a pinstripe or something though.

Good to hear Josh, it's really hard to get smoke back in the wires.

Replaced the rear brake hoses and fitted new pads, adjusted to suit..
Spent 30min trying to bleed the whole system but i can't get a firm pedal.. It goes 60% down till it goes firm.. it used to be 20-30% before it would go firm.
There are no visible leaks in the system either.

Took the Mini for a short run to warm it up. Then I fired up my dialback timing light/tacho, and plotted the advance curve of the modded Pulsar dizzy that's in the 1360.
I now have initial data for the ignition map of the Stealth module when I get it next week. 8)

Finally got some axle stands today. Front wheel off, cleaned under the wings and started painting with rust proofer. Tried to remove drive flange to replace standard wheel studs! Give that one a miss I think. Otherwise just a carpet and 2 new tyres and she will ready for RWC. Can't bloody wait.
