Bennoz, a guy at work has posted up a list on the notice board of workshop manuals that he is selling. In the list is a manual for 1961 - 1971 Mini, there is also one for a Galant but I can't remember the year.
I was just wondering if you would like me to make any enquiries for you, ie; price, brand, condition etc.

Re: The mighty Mini
No thanks mate, I have all the manuals. Original ones too 
I've even got the dealers colour chart that my old man ripped out of the salemans binder whern he wasn't looking way back in 1969
Some progress piccies. Almost finished the diff install. Had to grind the c@nt of the case to fit it in

Re: The mighty Mini
Match ported the exhaust. Will put more detailed pics up later, had to remove quite a bit of metal from both the pipes & the gasket seeing as the head ports are so big.

Re: The mighty Mini
I guess they really had to employ some space saving measures to make it so small

Re: The mighty Mini
Its a neat little package of rubbish British steel, yes
Did some more work this arvo, match ported the extractors to the new head. Fucked a gasket in doing so, but that's a small sacrifice for flow
Then tested fitted the carb as well, now the painstaking process of finding the right (or as close to) carb jets & emulsion tubes etc can begin so it will at least start.

Started the unenviable task of swapping sub frames today. Going from hydrospastic to dry cone with adjustable hi-lo's & spax coilovers.
