Yep i hate roll pins too, they always seem to get really stuck in the gearbox bit but fit in the linkage bit like a turd in a top hat...

part of why i like the remote box so much...

it wasnt something i was going to risk, the motorfactors hardly have anything mini in stock any more and most of it is order in, by the time i had found it out it would of been 9.30.

Any way got the bearing on, went up the road and my brakes were playing me up, the electric fan wouldnt work, and the exhaust started rubbing on the pot joint

"Stuff this i thought" knowing that i wouldnt make it, and went off to play in the sun!!!!!

Ill sort it out in the evenings this week, and get it mot'd, i might as well do a proper job once, instead of doing a crap job twice

Its nice to have the dumpvalve back though...

Also, what intercooler are you using? Do you think that it would fit behind the grille on a steel front?
