@restoringaclassic9489 Curious to know what the shine is like 2+ years on after you did this video. I followed what you did basically, about 6 months ago, and just had them sitting on the bench ready to install again when I got the rest of the mini done, and they have already started to surface rust. How have yours gone? Was thinking about Clearcoating them, but brake fluid and paint never goes well and I would think it would just peel off eventually or react in some way, and look horrible. Linsead oil maybe? Please let me know

Great video, thanks for sharing

Hi excellent video, I’m having problems with my mini pickup which has this exact same carb. It’s not ticking over right, also when going round sharp corners (turning left) it cuts out, do you think it could be the float? Also did yours run a lot better after this video? Many thanks

Wrong gloves for the job

Lost count the number of times ive rebuild those engines

Really wonderful and helpful!

Nice, I tend to clean and rebuild and then mask and paint, less chance of getting brake fluid on the caliper paint IMO

Planning on buying my first mini, too and your videos are really good. Is there any store in Europe where you buy your parts? Buying from uk results to more costs in customs and it’s an issue. At least in Greece.

Good attempt

How would you go about it without the ultrasonic cleaner ? I’m wanting to try restore mine before spending all the money on a new one but don’t have an ultrasonic cleaner 🙏

Just wonder WHY you didn't use poly bushes.

professionally done ..excellent video I will use this as a tutorial when I install my own restoration front subframe on a 1975 mini 998cc

Una maravilla de videos, que pena que no tengas mas. Son dignos de ver

Really nice result!

I'd make sure that the bore itself is not too pitted before going to all this trouble

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thanks. Great video. I learned a lot.

Very good video ! Thank you

I like it 👌 😊

Scary but good that you shared. We all need a reminder of how things can go wrong. Looking at your other videos, it strikes me there's very little Knuckle Rash. Now I know why you've learned the hard way to be calm and methodical. 😮 keep up the great work

A.m.s.r for cars No need for silly music 😊.

Lovely job Nicely done great attention to detail. I'M SURE THAT CAR IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE BEST ON THE ROAD 😊.😊

Nice job defo like the finish at the end, myself I would be a bit concerned about the petrol. As i used to be petrol deliverer and aluminium oxide in side could be very risky. But good for you looks great ❤

Dont place grease on the bottom of the joint cups keeps them high in the socket unless you going for concourse resto use more stainless such as the grease nipples and those bump stop and bushes would be better in silicon could have powdercoted the subframe

What gloves are they?

superb nice and clear no stupid music thanks

Nice

shouldn't the bleeder valve be facing the top of the caliper ?

Hi great job work done on radiator magic. If u could explain the set up of the three jars. Was it connected via battery when cleaning in salt and vinegar…

Hey man, what is the filler that you used? And how well did the finish hold up? Thanks!

Not the smartest thing to do with a angle grinder, that is why they make bench grinders, but I've done this before. just like in real life this scared the crap out of me too.

Dude you got some Angels, boy

Did the clear gloss stay on after 12 months?

Il me faudrait le remontage 😂

What solvent/ type/ brand degreaser do you use Cheers

Awesome Tutorial Bro. I wish more where like it.

Hi, I liked your repair technique on the clevis. Brill.

nice video i have 2 questions where do you find the kit of reparation and this caliper are 7 inch ? thank you for you futur reply

Hi, great video! but i have a question, What book did you use in the video to see how to assemble the carburettor again? Thanks!

Superb work - very nice techniques! 👌🏻

Nice video!

Thank you so much for this video. I love the way you don't talk in your videos and you get straight to business, which is what is really lacking in many videos on KZbin. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more of your videos.

Hi! My god..... I've never relaxed and been more motivated so much to get my mini done! This format of almost complete silence and sped up footage is perfect! Then you kern everything at the end!! can you pleeeeeeeease make more vidss! ill happily join a patrion!

When l first started fixing the car brakes a utlra sonic parts cleaner would be great way to get the parts clean instead we had old farts and their Old still ldeas

Good neat job, thanks for sharing.

So many things wrong here. Good video. Just for people who do not know: Standing in the debris field. Cutting into the edge. Not wearing kevlar or leather gloves. Guard in the wrong spot. Hand is way to close to 11_000RPM wheel. That is 147 mph or 236 kph spin. Grinder mounted to table up side down. And this is what guys do everyday across the globe. Good video.

Do you remember roughly what ratio of degreaser/water/vinegar did you use? Great lil vid btw, hope the project is still coming along nicely! At this stage now with my mpi!

Great video! are you planning to put the bumper back on? or run it without?

I have one of these sitting on my bench... after asking online i was told to just buy new... But after watching this video i think ill take a stab at rebuilding it. Amazing work, meticuluos video love it!! if your cars built completely like this its going to be a work of art!! ha ha. Thankyou

Wonderfully laid out and easy to follow.. great job and thanks for sharing.
