you are a good man
i might pm him.. ive noticed he was selling front cut parts he might have put in a rover engine. that all seems straight forward but the linkages? gear box will sit thats i'm confused about. i guess i can pay the mini guys to do that. |

You are either going to have a rod chane gear box or a remote change as per the pics / guide. If u have rod change, one engine is installed, you can them connect the linkages and pin and ur done. Did you get a front cut or just a rover engine/gearbox set up? |

yeh it is rover engine/gearbox set up. it has a 1100 in at the moment. i think it's a remote that's the later one? |
