Systems from Minis don't directly fit straight on a Moke. The Extractors / Exhaust Header needs to have a slightly different shape at the lower end and though I think the Engine Pipe (from these to the Muffler) will go on, may need a bit of 'adjusting'. From the RC40 on, will go in no worries.

Hello Spider,

Thank you for your advices

What do you mean? you have to cut it? or to bend it?

I think the lenght is the same?

Thanks

No worries.

The need to be bent a bit tighter where they go under the floor. You'd think they'd be the same as a mini, but they are not.

I'm not sure where you are, but if you are in the UK, I know Maniflow while not stocking the correct Extractors, will make them, though I'm not a 'fan' of Maniflow stuff.

There was a thread on the UK Mini Moke forum recent on this topic but it's down for maintenance just at the moment.

Hello Spider,

As for us it's an english car

I took a look to the car, the lenght between the subframes it's the same,

There is no gear linkage, the gear lever is connected direcly on the gearbox, like a 850

so what could be wrong??

thank you

The Firewall is a different shape to a Mini and the floor in the Moke sits about 30 - 40 mm higher.

Ah, you may have to cut and bend, but I doubt you'll need to weld anything.
