Hi, absolutely beautiful restoration your doing.
I presume that's a date on the underside of your remote housing. Do they all have that or just earlier cars? I just checked mine (67 mkII super deluxe) but it has nothing stamped in.
Thanks, Ollie

The exhaust with crimped corners are now on. it went quite well, and no problems here.
First had a litte problems getting it fixed, then found out that the bracket in the middle on the Cooper and S are a little longer than normal. After that no problems at all...

Here's the link to their site, I can only echo the approval of their products above, a trip to the factory is also worth while if you can pick up, a proper office with paperwork on the desks and sparks flying behind the factory window :D
