Hi guys!

I've got mself an auto MPi block that I would like to use but I need it manual. Could anybody help with info on converting from auto to manual with this block or detailed pics of oilways on a manual MPi block?

Thanks in advance!

Did you buy one of those New MPi blocks from snnoker AKA Minis Bristol Minis??

MPi autos were for the Jap market so they are pretty rare over here.

IMO its a Royal can of worms.

A+ :) MPi *surprised*

The oil filter will be the hardest part. The machining cost will be huge as it will take a lot of time to set it up. Not worth the extra money IMO

Unfortunately I dont have any pictures I can show you.

Thanks Rod S. I did try the search... The problem with all of the auto to manual conversions I've found (including the one you've just linked) is that they are for the earlier A+ not the MPi. Any help would truly be appreciated.

Sorry, Just updated my location. I'm in Australia.

I'm not too fussed about the oil filter as I could mount an external one providing I could get the gallery holes in the right spot. Of course it would be great if I could have the filter where it's meat to be.

I'd like to save this block from the tip if possible.

My apologies then, I didn't realise they had made even more changes.....

Good luck, over here we would just go and get another block (although that is becoming harder even over here) but I guess for you that isn't such an easy option...
