[@PocketRocketGarage]

Keith thanks for the plug 🔌 let’s hope it’s done for next years shows!! That’s the plan, will be learning as much as I can from you past and present videos, cheers Kev

[@DRW58]

Subframes looking really good, I had a suspicion that you were going to have to replace the radius arms, pins etc, mine was exactly the same . Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hiya Keith-really good video as usual-will come in useful in the future i'm sure. Nearly there by the look of things now Tardis, it'll be a show stopper! Keep well mate.

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thanks 👍

[@markdraper7]

Great Video, real pain about those radius arms. I coat all the tops and back of the rear subframe with Dynax before it goes in. 🙂

[@andyfry1970]

Hi Keith, great vid, shame about that sleeve hey, better to see it and sort it now though. Great stuff as always 😊

[@mcmotors100]

Another great video, I think you’ve got the balance spot on. Just wish I was as efficient as you.

[@bluefloyd6058]

You are the master!

[@classicminiworkshop]

Thank you.

[@FastTrack-1]

Trouble i have found fitting new hand brake cables, is the self centering locating washer on the bracket for the backplate is just a plain washer on the new one. By the way Keith, where did you get those 3 rubber insulation blocks for the top of the subframe ?

[@classicminiworkshop]

It was just some sound deadening material I had left over

[@Kieren.5]

My subframe rebuild kit never came with the rubber pads

[@paulrobinson3528]

7:48 whats the nifty little tool you have for cleaning the treads up?

[@classicminiworkshop]

I'm not sure where Mark got it from. I've never seen another one

[@AdrianMontana]

Moly grease for the radius arm pins?

[@classicminiworkshop]

Yes, grease with Moly in it will be fine

[@tonywood6332]

Are you doing Beaulieu this Sunday?

[@classicminiworkshop]

Yes Tony, I will be there. I thought I entered Sprout into the Show & Shine but turns out its a concourse. Not sure I'm ready for those high standards but at least the car will be on display

[@tonywood6332]

Nice one, hope to see you n sprout 👍

[@mikeuk1954]

Hi Keith How's your mates mini coming along? Haven't heard anything since his disappointment about the amount of bodged work that was revealed. Your mini is looking great. 👍

[@classicminiworkshop]

Hi Mike, I was out for a cruise with Mark in his ERA tonight. He's been doing some bit on the engine for the cooper and cleaning parts up but he's really just waiting for a new floor to be made by M-Machine. I think it's due in July.

[@mikeuk1954]

@@classicminiworkshop thanks Keith.

[@Kieren.5]

Do you need to have them rubber strips on the subframe

[@classicminiworkshop]

No, I dont think so. Many people dont fit them back on

[@AM-cz4fd]

Great video! What do you think of bilt hamber hydrate-80 compared to kurust?

[@classicminiworkshop]

I've never tried it but now I've looked at it I will give it a try. Sounds very good from the specs

[@AM-cz4fd]

@@classicminiworkshop awesome! Would love to know your thoughts when you do!

[@midgelambert3880]

Keith what is Gaffer tape? Duct tape?

[@classicminiworkshop]

Yes mate, same as Duct tape.

[@paulrobinson3528]

So the radius arm plastic cone split. The old originals are metal. Can you buys those metal ones or are they hens teeth??

[@HectorLawn]

The metal radius arm tubes are available from Japan

[@paulrobinson3528]

@@HectorLawn Can you? do you have a link please?

[@mokeandmadness4273]

Does the “di max” dry sticky?

[@markdraper7]

Not sticky. Just dries like a soft wax.

[@mokeandmadness4273]

Thanks I got some other stuff and have sprayed it in the side pods on my Moke and it’s just a sticky mess. Might have to give this ago

[@1chish]

Never worry about people having a moan mate. Most will have never laid a spanner on a car in anger. Some people will always find something to whinge about. Just do your thing as you choose as its far better than most on YT anyway.

[@winstonpoole9906]

Not fitting cunifer brake pipes on rebuild is false economy, I believe.

[@classicminiworkshop]

The reason I re-used them was because they still look like new and when someone looks under the car and sees original brake pipes on a 38 year old car that are not corroded, it really tells a story about the car. I completely understand the point about false economy but it's only time that is the false economy really. A roll of Kunifer and ends is

[@frankiepitt9135]

Watch the video, he tells you why he is fitting originals.
