Mini Radford De Ville comes back to life

[Peter Laidler]

Do you mind if I most respectfully make a small carb suggestion Herr Doktor?

Last photo, showing carbs assembled from the rear. Shows the upright strut supporting the PCvalve to the manifold (via the cable terminal). This strut is redundant as the short length of vacuum hose is sufficient to support the PCvalve unaided.
Additionally, with the strut in place it makes removing the air cleaner box impossible until the strut is removed, allowing the PCvalve to flex and the box removed......, allowing complete (?) access to the rear of the carbs and behind the engine.

Removed mine after a couple of weeks and never looked back!
