Teeny tinny update - It has really felt like hard work achieving almost anything this week. Which is a bit poo as the dam mini is still In my mates work shop, he is ok with it but I really do feel it has been there way to long. A lot of bits have been done while it's there which has been a lot easier and great that they are done. It just needs to come home now. So just not having any spare time to do anything on it has been a bit hard knowing it is so close.
I did manage to finish off the pedal box today. I have been painting it and realised I had to wait on changing over the brake pedal, which has to be done as I am set to fit a brake servo which has a different arm off the brake pedal to activate the brakes. The delay was due to the captive bolts threads for the mounting bolts, I have to admit I am not entirely sure how far down the nuts go on the threads but wow they where filling up with rust. So a few days ago I ordered a tap & die set with this job in mind but also knowing mini's this was no way going to be the last time I come accross a bolt or nut that was in need of love. Yes I can by knew but not that locally and then the job gets held up just because of a nut or bolt.
It is also really satisfying when you look at the clean thread and then just spin a nut on.

I am hoping the gale isn't to bad tomorrow, so I can try to get to the work shop and finish the dam seat brackets and then old lemon can finally come home.
