a few questions from a beginner
Turbo Mini Forums

hello everybody
starting a project soon (well, when once other one is done lol)

going to fit a cage, beam and full coilovers

i understand you have strengthen the rear arches (top shock mounts)

i was wondering how i should do this

also, about the cage has anybody got pics of the mounting pionts of a miglia cage set ups, if that makes sense, and so i can see where it is in the cage

rear beam, any strenghtening to the body that should be made

hope this makes sense
thanks,
jack

thanks,

Have a search around at some of the build threads there are quite a few people running different cages, I dont know the differnce between a miglia cage but perhaps trie the mini seven website?? As for rear coilovers you can get two different types either offset mounts that should fit fithout any mods or standard coilovers that i have used that need the rear arches modifying to clear the spring.

The picture below shows the rear of my car, The arch was cut and folded in and then strenthened around the top and bottom.




There is loads of information on this site and most the questions have been asked, Just take alot of searching!

Pictures speak a thousand words, have a look at Andy's build:
