Hi

Although I have the lower bulkhead mod done for the turbo, on the top half there is no hole that I have seen in other minis that lets the carb/plunem fit, (I bought the shell like this and I presume late minis didnt have the hole?)



Whats the best way to get round this ? Just cut a hole? How should I fill the hole afterwards?

Cheers

If you have an adjustable top engine steady you may be able to tilt the engine far enough forward to give clearance ?

And if that doesnt work, use an even bigger hammer !!

I wouldnt tilt the engine forward. Oil will gather on top of the valve guides and be more prone to sneaking down and getting burnt ( and being smokey )

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

Check out the pic I posted in this thread.

You could do something similar, but smaller if necessary.

You dont have an engine steady fitted! the engine will always sit back a little without evn a standard one

i dont have the hole there, my engine is tilted forward ever so slightly and is solid mounted with some of carls adjustable rose bushed steadys there is about 10mm clearance
