My Mrs wants a mini rag top, anyone got any tips on where to look on how to make them safe (or as safer than most) or any sites to conversion kits. I like the look of the banham kit, but can't find any info on it. Ideally, I would like to keep the doors opening. Any one do the conversion?

banham is out of production
try rally sport replicas they took over the kit from banham and advertise in all the mini mags

http://www.rallysportreplicas.co.uk/

but it aint cheap and the basic kit dosnt come with a hood

I think I have to be honest, since I bought all the bits for the mini I have been made redandant, I'm climbing back up the ladder again, but not earning what I use to be. I've updated the spec sheet for you.

yeah, buy her a Rover 100 cabrio and tell her it was originally based on the metro, which was based on the mini, so will do.

Don't forget to count how many seconds before she hoofs you.
