Right here's a happy customer's review: Got in contact with Dave with a request and provided him with 3 different images and styles and asked him to incorporate them into one. After faffing and changing my mind multiple times, he produced me these beauties: I'm chuffed to bits with them! To further add, Dave was brilliant. Great person to contact and replies quickly. If he is unsure, he'll ask, so that you get exactly what you want. I changed my mind so many times that I must've confused him, but instead of doing whatever he wanted/thought was right, he will check with you. He did send me some poor webcam shots to show me a sample before he sent them out as well (hence the close up shots I've provided). All in all, I'd recommend him.

Ah maybe I'm mistaken then. Come to think of it, I think they're all the cg13's not the 1.6 that you're using.

That engine conversion is becoming increasingly popular in mini's. So unfortunately, not the first.

Why don't you cable tie it on for the retest, just incase the tool doesn't arrive before then?

Right, some actual assembly! Managed to hunt down a guy on ebay who had genuine timken rear wheel bearings and grease caps (everywhere seems to be sold out) for £15 a side! So with that, I built up my rear hubs: With a drum: It looks like there won't be enough thread for my wheels and nuts but the studs aren't pulled through fully yet. They were just tapped in with hammer. That's all for now, but I'm sure I'll find some other little bits to do instead of my dissertation.

Couple more goodies: On a slight quest for lightness, my wallet is slowly becoming lighter too!

Run out of money for this month so no new parts. However I did manage this mammoth task: I drilled 3 small holes and one big one! That's it for a while until payday comes round

I didn't have the lips or bolts with me at the time and I don't have anything to weigh them with at home. Was curious myself but yea I can't see them weighing more than 1kg.

Thats alright Robin. I'm developing composite wheels and when I asked, I was being organised but to be honest, I'm not at the stage of needed them yet.

Some actual progress and not "things I've bought" Blasted and sprayed my wheels at uni: Some of the old paint was real tough! Despite costing me £40 in materials, it was still cheaper than any quotes to get the professionally blasted and painted. Will return tomorrow to laquer them.

Been doing a couple of bits whilst at uni. Also had this and a little flange knocked up for £80 which I thought was quite reasonable: Courtesy of David Dickerson at www.customworkshop.co.uk/

Someone from another mini forum had a small batch ordered in from America so I nabbed one when I had the chance!
