Pull the sticker off the washer bottle, it shouldn't have one. I am also wondering if the distributor cap should be a side entry type and the spark plug caps should be Champion WC548's That is about all I can see, lovely job though.

Also fit the ignition panel the right way (it's upside down) and I think it shouldn't have the chrome surround (?).

Hello

As for me she used to have WC200 spark plug cap??? no the early wc548 type.. isn't it?

And this is the good distributor cap, because it's one of the latest mk1 produced,

what do you mean for the ignition panel??

thank you

Charles

hello

Another picture of the car taking the sun

As for me the 850 mk1 used to have chrome trim arround the ignition and switches panel,

For the sticker I'm unsure, It's not difficult to pull it, as for me it was fitted on mk1/2 washer bottle,

About plug cap, I'm looking for its original wc200 caps,

Does anyone have this?

I think the ignition panel is correctly fitted, I don't understand how to fit it differently??

About plug cap, I'm looking for its original wc200 caps, I personally think a Mk1 should have WC548 caps, WC200's were later

I believe the ignition panel is upside down, you should turn it 180 degrees. I'm saying this because:

- The ignition barrel is upside down (it has a flat on one side, so can only be mounted one way... unless it was modified).
- The recesses for the choke and heater cables seem to be upside down too.

AFAIK late MK1 850 Minis didn't have chrome trim surrounds around the ignition panel.

Since yours is an export model, things may be different.

However I agree with Al, your car originally wouldn't have WC200 caps as they only appeared in the 70's.

Hello

I will wheck the ignition panel today,

For the chrome trim she used to have it before restoration,

And she also used to have wc200,

As for me wc548 was used until 67, and on late 67 they used to put wc200

Thank you

Brill.... Just brill... Motivates me no end.... To the garage............

That looks fantastic!

I hope that you manage to find a replacement front seat! At one time this would have been easy, but I guess that most of these seats must have been thrown out years ago.

Hello Guys!

Thank you for your comments!

I spend a lot of time on this car but now, I think it's finished!

I found the door edge trim at sommerformini!

I'm still looking for a front seat Mark,

I tried everywhere, but I didn't find it.. I used to avoid newton trim but, I will have to deal with it

I also tried to send a mail to Miniworks but they don't have it

I'm also looking for an original spark plug spanner, if someone has it for sale??

Lucas prince of darkness!!

I was driving yesterday to get my girfriend,

When suddently no flasher, no front light and the fuel gauge started to swing..

So we went to home, I started to check all the bulbs and and connectors,

One connector of the headlight was not welded properly, I welded it, the front lights were ok but the fuel gauge and the flasher was swinging..

I move just a little my brand new chinese fuse box, And finally All was working properly..

I hate electricity!!
