Does anyone know where I can get a cone compressor tool in Brisbane?

Also can I use it with the subframe out of the car?

When I had a car with dry suspension I used a bit of allthread, a piece of 1/4" plate and a few nuts....

Can be used out of the car

Not needed if you're putting in hilos

There a couple of "How to" .... Classic Mini subframe Youtube builds done by Mini Mania in the US about four years ago. Even with the correct cone compressor it took a lot of leverage and effort. They also give the best sequence to fit the parts (including hi-los) to make the job easier.
Good Luck Dave D
