engine steady.. bolt broken...
Turbo Mini Forums

hey all, car has been on the road a bit over a week now and the engine steady above the clutch housing has snapped the bolt (the big one that goes through the bush into the engine) it looks pretty much impossibly to get the stud out without taking the engine out, and i dont want to do that so soon..
i have one other steady on the car ( the lower gearbox one under the starter. i have done as much searching as i can and found that not many people are using the ultimate one but to have 2 extra gearbox ones so i am happy to go and add another 2 but what to do with my first one.. mini spares have these available..
Has anyone used one or anything do you think its up to the job with the other 3? i cant find any posts about these what so ever..

thanks for any help/info or ideas!

thanks.

I use one of these on my daily drive. they work lol

They are great. Very effective.

thanks for the replies i will get one collected tomorrow! with the extra 2 on the gearbox.

thanks! Dan

For sure. Thinking of fitting one of thes as the spacing from the block will prevent failure of the bushes due to direct heat from the block.

i bought this repair panel and 2 extra steadys and its fine now. still need to fit one of the other steadys but i have 3 at the moment and the engine doesent move at all.

thanks for the advice.

i fitted one in the week, excellent bit of kit, well worth it.
