I did wonder how you were removing the arms, as i design the end plates to be bolted on and the inners welded.

Simple fix, sorry about the picture quality as I only had my phone on me.

Im not sure I'd trust that being slotted? The rest of the beam looks good though.

as above,

I'd add a square retaining plate with two holes in, one for the arm, one to retain it to the beam.

Looks like I might have to re-think it again.

Weld a bit of 20 x 6mm flat onto the end of the tube and then bolt the outer brackets on and off as i designed mine.

Thanks for the comments, I think I've worked out a nice trick way to redo the inner brackets.

Not finished but a picture speaks a thousand words, so here's my two thousand word essay:





Sorry about the amount of flash in the second photo, I forgot to drop the power back down.

As a hillclimber what is the position of coilovers. I only have a 2008 blue book (Cheers Jason) and It states "the original type of suspension should be retained", however as no suspension pick up points are really changed there could be a case for them. Obviously there is, as you have gone to all this fabrication trouble.

P.s it looks bloody lovely!

The way I read the blue book, I am retaining the original type of suspension as I'm using rear trailing arms, it's not like I've gone for a five link set up or anything like that. However I'm sure I'll have a disagreement with a scrutineer over it.

Here's another shot:



They're not the drop links I'm going to be using, just didn't have any the right size.

ooo sexy. The minispares kit uses similar drop links.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

No, this will be the end of Minis for quite some time, I will however be keeping my Midget, so I will still be on here from time to time.
