BPH 492B
Re: BPH 492B
It has got a central roof interior light, small metal rear view mirror, full front valance, dry suspension, opening rear windows, the oval shaped speedometer binnacle with the extra gauges, indicator stalk with the green light in the end, oh and it don’t run yet had great fun towing it back to mine! Wonder if there are any kind Mini owners locally who might know how to get the old girl up and running again? Don’t think it’s much, possibly just timing and or wiring, this positive earth thing really confuses me old noggin!

Re: BPH 492B
That all sounds correct for the Deluxe version, and at that age it would not have the door switches for the interior light, unless retro fitted in some way. Is the steering column bracket chrome?Jasonking wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 7:29 pm It has got a central roof interior light, small metal rear view mirror, full front valance, dry suspension, opening rear windows, the oval shaped speedometer binnacle with the extra gauges, indicator stalk with the green light in the end, oh and it don’t run yet had great fun towing it back to mine!

Correct no door switches, chrome steering column bracket but missing its plastic steering column binnacle thingy. 
Re: BPH 492B
Hiya
do the mk1 mini 850 have a plastic steering column binnacle like later cars? Or does the winker stalk just bolt to the column itself? And if it should have placcy surround does anyone have one please?

Re: BPH 492B
Yes, they do. I suggest that before you go any further that you invest in or borrow a parts list. Or copy one that is published elsewhere on the forum.
