It's not good for inspiring confidence is it! I think I'll be following the advice of GraemeC and fit exhaust hangers, as they have to take a bit more punishment so should last a little longer. 

& again thankyou, I'm glad you like it. :) 

 

I finished fitting the replacement bushes supplied by minispares on Friday. They also supplied me with a replacement gearbox stabiliser bush FOC, although this did not fit. I ended up making my own.

This was the replacement bush supplied and the metal sleeve that was inserted in it's place. I used some rubber tubing cut to the exact size of the hole to simulate the proper bush. 

The one supplied was a good 2mm larger in diameter to the hole in the gearbox casing. 

 

Once this was done I gave everything a good look over before a little road trip. 

  

The trip was down to Cambridge for a friends birthday. Decided to take this mini because, well I don't know because I'm an idiot. 

Performed beautifully and on less than a tank. I arrived late on Friday and when I went back to get my bags later I found She'd made a friend.

 

So to the owner of a lovely R reg Sports pack I did find that amusing :)

Then a quick wash.

Just as I finished it rained, typical!
