First up is a pair of GTS-spec rear brake drums. They can be distinguished from the normal rear brake drums by the 25mm built in spacer. These are needed when you go to 13" wide wheels...
Second on the list is a set of elongated wheel studs from Mini Spares in England...
Position number three belongs to a Duplex timing gear set also from Mini Spares. These are more of a insurance policy for my valves, as the simplex timing chain tends to stretch and snap.
Filling up position four is a 3.1:1 Ratio Final Drive. This part comes courtesy of Sean from the Mini forum. This will go along way to get the mini up to a 160Kph cruising speed...
Number five belongs to a pair of adjustable Tie-rods that Wian sourced from Capetown. These have the combination rubber and poly bushes. With full poly's on your tie-rods they tend to rip out of the mountings...
Getting on to the lower end of the list, number six is held by a full-car poly bush set. There is allot of diffident opinions as to the use of poly bushes over normal rubber ones. My reason for going poly is that I am tiered of removing the sub-frames every 3 years to replace the rubber ones.
Finally I kept the best for last ... 1.5:1 ratio Roller-tip rockers... With the CAM I am going to run they don't have a big benefit, but it is something I have always wanted to put on my car...
Stay tuned for more....
