replaced the indicator stalk, wound up the hi-lo's to get the mandatory 100mm under the lowest part { exhaust collector} and fitted the inside of the glove box. a quick wash and it's heading to vicroads wed for it's inspection where I'm sure they will tell me it's a Mercury outboard and a jet ski trailer not a 1977 mini.

At the risk of getting flamed, can I suggest that when pumping up your hydro you use the tried and tested 2 1/2 to 3 fingers from the top of your front tyre to the chrome strip on the guard :idea: :D

[I would hate to see a bunch of over-pumped Mini's "porpoising" around the place :lol: ]

mines hydro and only slightly over two fingers at the front guard and it's still more than 100mm at the sump.
