I'm glad you are liking the thread mini 360

Did some more work today, bolted the head on, inlet manifold, carb, exhaust manifold, rocker cover it's all looking good.











Fingers crossed I may even fit the engine today:)

Hey danny1

No I did not get the engine back in, I thought it would be wise to have a look at the clutch while the engine was out, and I'm glad I did. The first thing was the bad oily grim which greeted me when I took the cover off, so of course a new clutch oil seal is needed. I then bent back the 2nd lock tab, locked the engine ready to unbolt the flywheel bolt......well I think I could of un-tightened it with 1/4 drive racthet! It must of only been at least finger tight!!! Once I removed the flywheel with the tool, I realised I would have to do some work on the tapered end of the crank and the flywheel as there was some scoring! Any way I have ordered some parts from minispares, do once I have these bits I can then put the clutch assy back.

Also look what turned up





My refurbished calipers from biggred, they have done a fantastic job on them, I'm well pleased.





But its not all good news, I went to fit the driver side caliper and noticed that both of the threads in the hub for the caliper bolts are completely shot! So it now looks like I will have to replace the hub, unless you guys have any ideas?

Cheers
